I'd heard that Comcast was getting ready to issue a report on how it's been dealing with the massive number of Aisuru/Kimwolf botnet infections on their network. Also, Kimwolf piggybacked on IPIDEA's proxy network, and data from Synthient shows Comcast's email service (imap.comcast.net) was the most-requested domain of IPIDEA users (these are credential-stuffing attacks).

Glad I didn't wait for their report. It's basically a recap of everything we know so far, but narry a word about how it's affecting their customers. Instead, the blog post uses the old "we ran the malware in a lab and here's what we saw" approach to admiring the problem.
