｢ The hacked systems that get subsumed into the botnet are mostly consumer-grade routers, security cameras, digital video recorders and other devices operating with insecure and outdated firmware, and/or factory-default settings. Aisuru’s owners are continuously scanning the Internet for these vulnerable devices and enslaving them for use in distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks that can overwhelm targeted servers with crippling amounts of junk traffic ｣
:blobcat: DDoS Botnet Aisuru Blankets US ISPs in Record DDoS – Krebs on Security
｢ The world’s largest and most disruptive botnet is now drawing a majority of its firepower from compromised Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices hosted on U.S. Internet providers like AT&T, Comcast and Verizon, new evidence suggests ｣
｢ Experts say the heavy concentration of infected devices at U.S. providers is complicating efforts to limit collateral damage from the botnet’s attacks, which shattered previous records this week with a brief traffic flood that clocked in at nearly 30 trillion bits of data per second ｣

Website owner? Not keen on the Mellowtel browser library building a botnet of untraceable scrapers from unwitting users who are using a browser plugin that contains Mellowtel? I've raised a GitHub issue for them to explain how much contempt they have for our consent. Join in, politely, make them look like the jerks they are. https://github.com/mellowtel-inc/mellowtel-js/issues/41
