Google disrupts NetNut proxy network used in malware operations
Alphabet’s Google said on Thursday it weakened a network of internet-connected devices being used to conceal and route malicious online traffic, acting against the NetNut residential proxy operator and the Popa botnet.
Google took action in partnership with the FBI and Lumen , among others.
The tech giant said it disabled accounts and services used in NetNut-related malware command-and-control operations and shared technical intelligence on the group’s infrastructure with law enforcement and industry partners to support broader enforcement efforts.
