Lumen disrupts AISURU and Kimwolf botnet by blocking over 550 C2 servers

Lumen's disruption of the AISURU and Kimwolf botnet by blocking over 550 command-and-control (C2) servers marks a significant milestone in the fight against DDoS attacks and proxy abuse. This action demonstrates Lumen's Black Lotus Labs' capabilities in identifying and mitigating large-scale botnet operations. For website owners, this news means a potential reduction in DDoS attacks and proxy abuse, which can lead to improved website uptime and reduced risk of security breaches. Specifically, website owners who have been targeted by the AISURU and Kimwolf botnet may see a decrease in malicious traffic, resulting in lower bandwidth usage and improved overall website performance. This disruption may also lead to a decrease in the number of fake or malicious AI bot requests, making it easier for website owners to track and manage legitimate AI bot traffic. To take advantage of this development, website owners can follow these actionable tips: (1) review their website's traffic logs to identify any changes in AI bot traffic patterns, (2) update their llms.txt files to reflect any new botnet disruptions or changes in AI bot behavior, and (3) monitor their website's security and performance metrics to quickly respond to any potential issues that may arise from the disruption of the AISURU and Kimwolf botnet.
