href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/usao-ak\/pr\/canadian-man-arrested-international-authorities-charged-administrating-kimwolf-ddos\">Canadian man accused of running Kimwolf<\/a>, one of the most far-reaching DDoS botnets on record, the Justice Department said Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Jacob Butler was arrested Wednesday in Ottawa, Canada, and awaits extradition to the United States where he is charged with aiding and abetting computer intrusions and, if convicted, faces up to 10 years in prison.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators said the 23-year-old, also known as \u201cDort,\u201d was a principal administrator of Kimwolf, a variant of the record-setting Aisuru DDoS botnet that spread like wildfire and eventually took over <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/kimwolf-aisuru-botnet-lumen-technologies\/\">more than 2 million Android TV devices<\/a> after its operators figured out how to abuse residential-proxy networks for local control.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities in March seized infrastructure powering the Kimwolf, Aisuru, JackSkid and Mossad botnets, which <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/botnet-disruption-aisuru-kimwolf-jackskid-mossad\/\">hijacked a combined three million devices<\/a> and launched more than 300,000 DDoS attacks collectively.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Kimwolf, which operated as a DDoS-for-hire service for other cybercriminals, initiated more than 25,000 attacks, resulting in network outages, disruptions and financial losses exceeding millions of dollars, officials said. Officials also said they found evidence linking Kimwolf to DDoS attacks targeting Department of Defense Information Network IP addresses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKimwolf and the botnets associated with this operation have supported persistent corporate intrusion efforts and been used by a wide range of serious threat actors,\u201d Zach Edwards, staff threat researcher at Infoblox, told CyberScoop.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities searched Butler\u2019s residence during the globally coordinated operation, but did not arrest him until Wednesday, roughly two months later. Officials filed a criminal complaint against Butler in the U.S. District Court for the District of Alaska in April, and unsealed the complaint following his arrest.<\/p>\n<p>A special agent with the Defense Criminal Investigative Service confirmed Butler\u2019s identity and involvement in the Kimwolf botnet after Butler used the same IP address to access multiple email accounts he controlled and Discord accounts linked to Kimwolf. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have observed significant operational security lapses on Butler\u2019s part resulting in patterns of overlapping IP usage among a Google account in Butler\u2019s true name, other Google accounts that I believe to be controlled by Butler due to use of the same machine cookies, and Discord accounts which have been used in support of the KimWolf operation,\u201d the special agent said in an affidavit. <\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe Discord accounts show patterns of overlapping IP usage with the KimWolf backend server. These IP addresses appear to be proxy or VPN IPs which were likely used by Butler in an unsuccessful attempt to evade law enforcement scrutiny. However, like many cybercriminals, Butler did not use proxy or VPN IP addresses exclusively,\u201d the special agent added. <\/p>\n<p>Authorities described the botnet takedowns in March in nearly conclusive terms at the time, yet court records indicate the Kimwolf botnet is back in operation. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile today\u2019s announcement is encouraging to see, there are still hundreds of millions of insecure IoT and network devices connected to sensitive government, corporate and home networks, and these remain a priority target for threat actors looking to build the next version of Kimwolf,\u201d Edwards said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUntil we find solutions to this underlying problem,\u201d he added, \u201cwe\u2019ll unfortunately continue to play Whac-A-Mole with botnet operators year after year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You can read the affidavit supporting the criminal complaint against Butler below.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/body> <\/p>\n<footer class=\"single-article__footer\" readability=\"3.533203125\">\n<div class=\"author-card\" readability=\"14\">\n<div class=\"author-card__avatar\">\n<figure class=\"author-card__image-wrap\"> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-card__image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/alleged-leader-of-kimwolf-a-sweeping-botnet-for-cybercriminals-arrested-in-canada-1.jpg?w=640&ssl=1\" alt=\"Matt Kapko\"> <\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><h4 class=\"author-card__name\">Written by Matt Kapko<\/h4>\n<p> Matt Kapko is a reporter at CyberScoop.
