Dutch govt disrupts malware botnet with 17 million infected devices
By Bill Toulas
AI Summary
Dutch authorities dismantled a botnet of 17 million infected devices, seizing more than 200 servers from a local provider tied to a Russia-based residential proxy network. The operation represents one of the largest botnet takedowns in recent history, though a separate report (id 4356) notes that a related raid on bulletproof host THE.Hosting seized 800 servers but left its core IP address space intact, limiting operational impact.
