Massive 31.4 Tbps DDoS attack breaks records: How the 'apex' of botnets could be weaponizing your home devices

Also known as Kimwolf, Aisuru is one of the largest botnets currently in existence, powered by an estimated one to four million infected hosts worldwide, including home and consumer devices such as routers and online CCTV systems.
