For the past week, the notorious Aisuru botnet has been making waves by hijacking the top spots on Cloudflare's list of most requested websites, knocking giants like Amazon, Apple, Google, and Microsoft down a peg. This massive botnet is believed to be boosting the rankings of its malicious domains while simultaneously launching attacks on Cloudflare's own domain name system.
In response, Cloudflare decided to scrub the Aisuru domains from their rankings to protect users from being misled. The company's CEO pointed out that these shady tactics are part of a broader scheme by Aisuru's operators to manipulate online visibility. If you thought the internet was a wild place before, this incident just proves how much more chaotic it can get when malicious actors target the very infrastructure we rely on. Keep an eye on your online activity, folks; things are getting tricky out there.
