Google: Action taken against NetNut's malicious network

 Google LLC announced in a blog post on Thursday that, in coordination with the FBI, Lumen, and others, it took action against the NetNut residential proxy network, also known as Popa.

To disrupt the proxy network, Google accounts and associated Google services used by NetNut for malware command and control (C2) were disabled, technical intelligence on NetNut software development kits (SDKs) and backend C2 infrastructure was shared, and Google's Play Protection "automatically warned users and disabled applications known to incorporate NetNut SDKs."

The tech giant stated that the coordinated actions significantly degraded the proxy network, "reducing the available pool of devices for the proxy operator by millions." Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) estimated that NetNut's network size is at least 2 million devices.
