KrebsOnSecurity experienced a massive 6.3 Tbps DDoS attack, believed to be a test of the Aisuru botnet, which consists of compromised IoT devices. This attack, lasting less than a minute, highlights the growing threat posed by sophisticated botnets and the involvement of individuals like "Forky," who has connections to multiple DDoS-for-hire services. Despite the attack's scale, KrebsOnSecurity remained operational due to its DDoS protection measures.
