This feels like an advertisement:

  In August 2024, the [Aisuru] botnet was rented out in subscription tiers ranging from $150 per day to $600 per week, offering attacks of up to two terabits per second.

  “You may not attack any measurement walls, healthcare facilities, schools or government sites,”

  Interested parties were told to contact the Telegram handle “@yfork” to purchase a subscription. The account @yfork previously used the nickname “Forky,”

It's unclear why Krebs seems to be helping their botnet business.

I think Krebs has done pretty well with goading attackers in the past? Ad for him and they tend to have slip-ups that come to light during all the attention.
