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 botnet’s disruption is a significant step in mitigating the threat posed by Chinese cyber operations. The specific targets and the full extent of the botnet’s activities are still under investigation.
