The FBI, along with other US and international law enforcement agencies, has disrupted a massive botnet called Flax Typhoon, attributed to a Chinese-linked threat group. This botnet had infected over 200,000 IoT devices over several years, potentially enabling malicious activities like data theft and DDoS attacks.

The specific targets and the full extent of the botnet’s activities are still under investigation.
