The US Justice Department announced the arrest of Jacob Butler, a 23-year-old Canadian man accused of operating the Kimwolf botnet, which infected approximately 2 million devices and was linked to a record-breaking distributed denial of service attack that peaked at over 31 terabytes per second. Butler, who went by the online name "Dort," was arrested in Canada and faces extradition to the US, where he could receive up to 10 years in prison if convicted of aiding and abetting computer intrusion. The arrest coincides with seizures targeting 45 DDoS-for-hire platforms, part of a broader law enforcement operation that previously disrupted the botnet infrastructure in March.
