[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim: [QB] And following that, this is so weird. I go to Wikipedia to read up a bit on AI and stuff related to this thread, and before I can start typing stuff into the search field I spot "Today's Featured Article", and [i]what is it[/i]? [QUOTE][b]Storm botnet[/b] The Storm botnet is a botnet, a group of "zombie" computers controlled remotely. In September 2007, it was estimated to run on as many as 1 to 50 million computer systems linked by the Storm Worm, a Trojan horse that has spread through e-mail spam. Other sources have placed the size of the botnet to be around 250,000 to 1 million compromised systems. The Storm botnet was first identified around January 2007, with the Storm worm at one point accounting for 8% of all malware on Microsoft Windows computers. The botnet reportedly is powerful enough as of September 2007 to force entire countries off the Internet, and is estimated to be able to potentially execute more instructions per second than some of the world's top supercomputers. Used in a variety of criminal activities, the Storm botnet has displayed defensive behaviors, that indicated its controllers were actively protecting the botnet against attempts at tracking and disabling it. The botnet has specifically attacked the online operations of some security vendors and researchers who attempted to investigate the botnet.[/QUOTE]These "controller" guys are playing with fire... :.)
