How a cybergang operates a network of 1.9 million infected computers
Today we announced our recent discovery of a network of 1.9 million infected computers controlled by cybercriminals. This is one of the largest bot networks controlled by a single team of cybercriminals (or cybergang) that we found this year. In this blog post we will provide you with additional details about this network, the malware in use and how the operators are using it to make money – after all, this is the main drive for cybercrime today.
We found that the botnet’s command and control server is hosted in Ukraine. As folders on this server were left open, we were able to get more information for our research.
