The Growing Threat of DDoS Botnets
Denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks have never been as sophisticated and destructive. Recently, a botnet named Eleven11bot, consisting of more than 30,000 compromised security cameras and video recorders, struck telecommunications providers and online gaming platforms with unprecedented intensity. These cyberattacks caused major disruptions, raising concerns about the evolution of DDoS threats and the increasing vulnerability of connected devices.

Understanding How Botnets Work
A botnet is a network of infected devices controlled remotely by cybercriminals without the owners' consent. These devices can include computers, routers, security cameras, and other connected objects. Once compromised, they are enlisted to perform malicious actions, often without the owner's knowledge. Botnets are a central element in many modern cyberattacks. They allow hackers to mobilize significant computing power to carry out illegal activities online, making their detection and neutralization challenging.
How to Protect Yourself Against Botnet Threats?
Botnets and DDoS attacks are growing threats in today's connected world. Cybercriminals exploit vulnerabilities in devices to create large networks of infections, remotely controlled. It's essential to take steps to protect your devices and networks. Here are key strategies to secure your devices, detect attacks early, and prevent botnet infections.
