  • 10 Most Wanted Botnets

    http://www.networkworld.com/news/200...ts.html?page=1

    Interesting article, with all the media attention about conficker it only came in 10th.

    No. 1: Zeus

    Compromised U.S. computers: 3.6 million


    No. 10: Conficker

    Compromised U.S. computers: 210,000. Man summer of 2008, it only seemed like yesterday; Tempus Fugit. Time warps the older you get (sigh).

    Just because you can doesn't mean you should. This applies to making babies, hacking, and youtube videos.

    Ya I remember thinking what feels like the other day. Damn Storm and Kraken were 400-500k large. That's HUGE. But 3.6 million computers. Just.. wow...

      I guess that's why they call it Zeus :-)
