The number of bad bots has grown exponentially in recent years, driving poor internet performance for individuals and the loss of control over connected devices; wholesale theft of online intellectual property, content and data; unnecessarily high bandwidth fees; and compromised websites that are otherwise key to mission-critical functions. In fact, bad bots almost doubled as a percentage of all web traffic over the course of 2013, from 12.25% to 23.6%. And the number of mobile bots is up a staggering 1,000%.

Legitimate sites forced to aid criminals' illicit botnet operations Hackers have hijacked more than 162,000 legitimate WordPress sites, connecting them to a criminal botnet and forcing them to mount distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, according to security firm Sucuri. Sucuri CTO Daniel Cid said the company uncovered the botnet when analysing an attack targeting one of its customers. Cid said Sucuri managed to trace the source of the attack to legitimate WordPress sites. "The most interesting part is that all the requests were coming from valid and legitimate WordPress sites. Yes, other WordPress sites were sending random requests at a very large scale and bringing the site down," read the blog.

That finding comes from Arbor Networks, which said that attackers had compromised numerous PHP Web applications, such as Joomla, as well as many WordPress sites, many of which were using an outdated version of the TimThumb plug-in. After compromising the sites, attackers then loaded toolkits onto the sites that turned them into DDoS attack launch pads. – Information Week Security

Deutsche PC-Nutzer sind ein beliebtes Ziel von Botnetz-Betreibern. Haben Sie wirklich noch die Kontrolle über Ihren PC? Botnetze werden oft über zentrale Kommando-Server, auch als Mutterschiffe bezeichnet, gesteuert. Die infizierten Rechner, Zombies genannt, halten Kontakt mit einem der Mutterschiffe oder untereinander. Sie geben ausgespähte Daten wie etwa Passwörter für Online-Spiele und Banken-Websites, aber auch gesammelte Mail-Adressen oder Kreditkartendaten weiter. Sie erhalten vom Mutterschiff, teils über zwischen geschaltete Relay-Rechner (Repeater), Instruktionen, etwa Adressen und Inhalte von zu versendenden Spam-Mails.
