Microsoft Leads Effort to Take Down Massive Malware Network

Microsoft has this week outlined its effort to take action against the Necurs botnet, which it says is one of the largest online criminal networks in the world. "Today, Microsoft and partners across 35 countries took coordinated legal and technical steps to disrupt one of the world’s most prolific botnets, called Necurs, which has infected more than nine million computers globally. This disruption is the result of eight years of tracking and planning and will help ensure the criminals behind this network are no longer able to use key elements of its infrastructure to execute cyberattacks."

Botnet systems enable cybercriminals to distribute malware and take remote control of people's systems. Once they're able to access these PCs, they can then remotely use them to commit computer science vs software engineering.

Microsoft says that its security teams first observed the Necurs botnet in 2012, and have since seen it distribute several forms of malware, including the GameOver Zeus banking trojan. "The Necurs botnet is one of the largest networks in the spam email threat ecosystem, with victims in nearly every country in the world. During a 58-day period in our investigation, for example, we observed that one Necurs-infected computer sent a total of 3.8 million spam emails to over 40.6 million potential victims.​"
