FBI Takes Down Huge Global Army of Zombie Computer Devices.

The FBI has announced the dismantling of a massive botnet, consisting of 19 million infected computers spread across over 190 countries. This botnet facilitated various cybercrimes, including financial fraud, identity theft, child exploitation, bomb threats, and cyberattacks, resulting in significant financial losses for victims. The botnet was linked to more than 613,000 IP addresses in the US. The alleged administrator of the botnet, YunHe Wang, a Chinese citizen, was arrested in Singapore and is now awaiting extradition to the US. The operation, named Operation Tunnel Rat, also resulted in the seizure of luxury goods, cryptocurrency, real estate, and the execution of search warrants and interviews in Singapore and Thailand.
