FBI Dismantles Global Botnet, Arrests Alleged Chinese Mastermind

A 35-year-old Chinese man, Yunhe Wang, has been arrested for allegedly running the "911 S5" botnet, a massive network of malware-infected computers used for identity theft, child exploitation, and financial fraud, including pandemic relief scams. The botnet, which operated for nearly a decade, compromised 19 million computers worldwide and caused over $5.9 billion in estimated losses. Wang reportedly used his illicit profits to purchase properties across multiple countries.
