Having lost more hours to reading criminal complaints over the years than I care to remember, I can confidently state that I have never encountered one as entertaining and complete as the one that dropped today, charging a 22 y/o Oregon man with operating "Rapper Bot," a huge IoT botnet blamed for the Twitter/X DDoS attack in March 2025.
As the complaint states in delicious detail, the accused and his alleged co-conspirator discussed at length on Telegram how to stay off the radar of law enforcement. Here's a snippet from the story:
โBoth FOLTZ and Slaykings were very dismissive of attention seeking activities, the most extreme of which, in their view, was to launch DDoS attacks against the website of the prominent cyber security journalist Brian Krebs,โ Peterson wrote in the criminal complaint.
โYou see, theyโll get themselves [expletive],โ Slaykings wrote in response to Foltzโs comments about Forky and Aisuru bringing too much heat on themselves.
โProb cuz [redacted] hit krebs,โ Foltz wrote in reply.
โGoing against Krebs isnโt a good move,โ Slaykings concurred. โIt isnโt about being a [expletive] or afraid, you just get a lot of problems for zero money. Childish, but good. Let them die.โ
โYe, itโs good tho, they will die,โ Foltz replied.
The government states that just prior to Foltzโs arrest, Rapper Bot had enslaved an estimated 65,000 devices globally. That may sound like a lot, but the complaint notes the defendants werenโt interested in making headlines for building the worldโs largest or most powerful botnet.
Quite the contrary: The complaint asserts that the accused took care to maintain their botnet in a โGoldilocksโ size โ ensuring that โthe number of devices afforded powerful attacks while still being manageable to control and, in the hopes of Foltz and his partners, small enough to not be detected.โ
The complaint states that several days later, Foltz and Slaykings returned to discussing what that they expected to befall their rival group, with Slaykings stating, โKrebs is very revenge. He wonโt stop until they are [expletive] to the bone.โ
โSurprised they have any bots left,โ Foltz answered.
โKrebs is not the one you want to have on your back. Not because he is scary or something, just because he will not give up UNTIL you are [expletive] [expletive]. Proved it with Mirai and many other cases.โ

Oregon Man Charged in โRapper Botโ DDoS Service
A 22-year-old Oregon man has been arrested on suspicion of operating "Rapper Bot," a massive botnet used to power a service for launching distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks against targets -- including a March 2025 DDoS that knocked Twitterโฆkrebsonsecurity.com
Somehow I missed this June 2025 writeup on Rapper Bot from Quianxin.com, which explained that at the time the botnet malware contained a Base64 encoded message that invokes my name! I guess they weren't totally against tossing my name around for publicity after all. Too bad I didn't notice sooner.
blog.xlab.qianxin.com/rapperboโฆ
Here's the decoded message:
"This is rapperbot, rapperbot is in its testing and development stages. Take nothing here seriously.
Brian Krebs approves of this project; he is our number one supporter.
FUCK DOTA3.TAR.GZ (outlaw) AND FUCK xorddos for using those dumb ass low IQ root kits. (they have no idea what's to come)

Anyway, 2tall out!
See you guys in the next update, I'll most likely leave another note."

After WWII the US cut back its forces - modestly.
This freaked out the 'military industrial complex.' How could a Major become a General without a war? How could an aircraft company make money without a war? Arthur Miller certainly showed the exuberance of working for the gubmint making things to kill others.
The reduction was short-lived but the common lexicon got the term 'Peace Dividend.'
After Nam we heard the same thing. So far, no Peace Dividend.
Post Ukraine we sell arms to the EU
I allege that Powell is already doing this.
While not a fan of Mr Powell, he is the first Fed Chair since Greenspan who has put America (Banks) First.
His predecessors were trying to bring the US down to the level of the EU.
The EU is not a major trading market for the US. Fuck the EU.
The Stablecoin scheme could undermine the EU dollar (as bitcoin has been predicted to do) and speed its descent into chaos.
>While not a fan of Mr Powell, he is the first Fed Chair since Greenspan who has put America (Banks) First.
Tom Luongo thinks along these lines.
It is weird to hear from him while they "negotiate" on Ukraine.
