Researchers Find Massive Botnet On Nearly 2 Million Infected Consumer, Business, Government PCs
More than 70 government-owned domains hit, and nearly half of the overall infections are in the U.S.
"The botnet, which appears to be larger than the infamous Storm botnet was in its heyday, has infected machines from some 77 government-owned domains -- 51 of which are U.S. government ones, according to Ophir Shalitin, marketing director of Finjan, which recently found the botnet. Shalitin says the botnet is controlled by six individuals and is hosted in Ukraine."
