Google Disrupts NetNut Residential Proxy Network Spanning 2 Million Home Devices

Google has disrupted the NetNut residential proxy network, which uses home devices as relays for other people's traffic. The disruption was achieved through collaboration between Google's Threat Intelligence Group, the FBI, Lumen, and other parties. As a result, the number of usable devices in the network has been reduced by millions. The NetNut network, also known as Popa, spans across numerous home devices. Google's efforts have significantly degraded the network's capabilities. The network had previously consisted of around 2 million home devices.
