Botnet Persistence and Residential Proxy Networks

Despite multiple takedowns, botnets powered by residential proxies continue to grow. IPIDEA botnet rebounds with 60M victim IPs, 1 in 4 in the US. NETSCOUT expands DDoS mitigation capacity to 33 Tbps in response to mega-botnets like Aisuru and Kimwolf. This challenges the effectiveness of current disruption strategies and underscores the need for regulatory and industry-wide solutions. Directly impacts detection evasion and attack scale.
