The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has obtained court orders and has taken control of the command and control servers of a massive botnet of over 500,000 devices, known as the VPNFilter botnet.

The existence of this massive threat came to light yesterday when Cisco Talos published a report about VPNFilter infecting over 500,000 routers and NAS devices across the world.
