FBI Seizes NetNut Proxy Platform Tied to Popa Botnet
The FBI seized hundreds of domains linked to NetNut, a residential proxy service owned by Alarum Technologies, following reports connecting it to the Popa botnet. The botnet comprises at least two million compromised devices. The action targets a service that enabled cybercriminals to route traffic through unwitting victims' devices.
