📡 Netherlands seizes 200 servers in 17-million-device botnet case

Dutch police and the NCSC say they dismantled a botnet spanning at least 17 million infected computers, tablets, and smartphones, and seized more than 200 servers hosted in the country. The infrastructure was tied to the residential proxy service Asocks, with servers taken for forensic analysis after the hosting provider confirmed criminal use.

The case underlines how residential proxy networks can mask malicious traffic behind ordinary consumer devices, complicating attribution and filtering. It also shows the central role of domestic hosting infrastructure in sustaining globally distributed botnets.
