Glupteba Botnet Rises from the Dead
Experts at Nozomi Networks announced that they spotted an ongoing Glupteba botnet campaign, starting June 2022. Just a year ago, Google had claimed to dismantle the botnet’s infrastructure. Glupteba operators used the Bitcoin blockchain for hiding C&C domains, making it resilient to takedown efforts. It took cybercriminals roughly six months to build a new campaign.
