Very fascinating. I saw multiple people predict that these ddos attacks were just advertisement for the Aisuru services.

How can regular users of Android, smart TV's, etc. identify these IoT devices that have been compromised?


recently had to research "residential proxy", and the number of websites that claim that they have millions of IPs on hand was very strange. then the fact that a lot of them work in the exact same way, and a lot of them accepted payment mostly in crypto was very strange. so now connecting the dots, makes sense now why these "residential proxy" websites looked and worked the same way
