Google also announceda lawsuittargeting the botnet’s alleged operators.
Abotnetgenerally refers to a web link of computers that’s taken over and controlled remotely by cyberciminals.
The botnet is called Glupteba, and it has infected Windows machines around the world.
Google detailed its steps against the Glupteba botnet in aseparate post.
However, Glupteba’s operators are using the bitcoin blockchain as a backup mechanism for the botnet.
That means it’s more difficult to get rid of the botnet for good.
