description
This infographic is courtesy of Check Point and covers the threat provided by botnets. A botnet is made up of a number of ‘robot’ (or ‘bot’) computers (sometimes referred to as ‘zombies’) that have been infected with malware that establishes a network connection (or ‘net’) with a controlling system. A botnet (or network of robot computers) is typically used for malicious purposes including adding more machines to the botnet, sending spam email, DDoS attacks and the theft of data from bots in the botnet. The infographic sets out facts and figures and advice on botnets, including the remarkable estimate of 5 million spam-sending botnets in the world.
