NetNut proxy network disrupted, 2 million infected devices cut off

A joint law enforcement and industry operation led by Google, the FBI, Lumen Technologies, and The Shadowserver Foundation has disrupted NetNut (also known as Popa), one of the world's largest residential proxy botnets. The network comprised at least 2 million compromised Android devices — including smart TVs and streaming boxes — infected via trojanized apps and pre-installed malware. Threat actors used NetNut to hide malicious traffic behind legitimate residential IP addresses, with 316 distinct threat clusters observed using its exit nodes in a single week. Google disabled NetNut's C2 infrastructure, warned users via Google Play Protect, and shared SDK and backend details with partners. The FBI seized the netnut.com domain. Because NetNut operates a reseller program powering many other proxy services, the disruption is expected to have broad ripple effects across the residential proxy industry.
