In this edition of Prime Cyber Insights, recorded July 6th, 2026, we examine the collapse of the NetNut residential proxy botnet following a coordinated strike by Google and federal law enforcement. The disruption highlights the growing risk of 'proxyware' and hijacked IoT infrastructure in modern enterprise environments. Concurrently, the exposure of 2.3 million accounts from the Moody Bible Institute by the ShinyHunters group serves as a stark reminder of the persistent threat posed by extortion-focused threat actors. We synthesize these events through the lens of the 'Human Stack'—the critical but often unprotected layer of human decision-making that is increasingly targeted by AI-enhanced social engineering. This briefing provides direct analysis on shifting from traditional prevention models toward operational resilience in the Mythos era.

Topics Covered

• 🚨 Disruption of the NetNut (Popa) residential proxy botnet.
• 🔓 Analysis of the 2.3 million record leak at Moody Bible Institute.
