Police arrest suspected bot herders

Can mr Cluely clue us in, HOW ON EARTH a 63 and a 19 year old: ``Graham Cluley, senior security consultant for Sophos, said the group could also have been responsible for writing a worm the security calls "Tibick," written in 2004. The worm spread via file-sharing networks and again created a backdoor that connected the compromised machine to an IRC channel.''

living 1000s of miles away can manage to ... herd so many bots and leverage the 2004 exploit to compromise in 2006 so many wndows PCs... ?

It is SO DARN EASY to pull a stunt like this, as opposed to ... fixing this misserable IE and OE

I also wonder, in the Winter time, do they take their hrd to lower grounds? What are these herds feed on? bolts, washers and nuts? just curious....; Posted by: michael_t Posted on: 06/27/06 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
