GameOver Zeus Botnet Disrupted











This is a news from back in June 2, 14, I thought it is worth of reading. Multiple US government agencies tried to disrupt the attack Zeus botnet which was responsible for the theft of millions of dollars around the world. Its a malware type of attack and it uses spam e-mail or phishing messages. Again, if you don't recognize the email or the attachments, don't open it or your information will most likely to go to the hands of hackers. Eventually you computer will become the part of global network of attackers. The main purpose of this attack was to get banking information to steel money. Here is the link.
