    Alleged leader of Kimwolf, a sweeping botnet for cybercriminals, arrested in Canada

    Jacob Butler, a 23-year-old Canadian man also known as 'Dort', was arrested in Ottawa and faces extradition to the United States for allegedly running Kimwolf, a major DDoS botnet that hijacked over 2 million Android TV devices and launched more than 25,000 attacks. The botnet operation, which was part of a larger coordinated takedown in March involving multiple botnets that compromised three million devices combined, caused millions of dollars in damages and targeted Department of Defense networks.
