Hackers fight to create world's largest Botnet - [P2P News]
Submitted by Forcefire on 8/18/2005 11:16:32 AM

Experts are warning that the sharp rise in malware activity this week is being caused by hacking groups competing with each other to create large botnets of remote controlled PCs.
The worm attacks on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday appear to come from three distinct hacking groups according to Mikko Hypponen, chief research officer at F-Secure.
"We seem to have a botwar on our hands," he said.
"There appear to be three different virus writing gangs turning out new worms at an alarming rate ? it's as if they are competing to see who will build the biggest network of infected machines. The latest variants of Bozori even remove competing viruses like Zotob from the machines!"

What has made these worms different is the speed with which they were created. Microsoft released its patches on August 9 and the patches had been reverse engineered and exploit code was released by August 12. Since then three distinct worm types have exploited the vulnerability.
"Organised criminal gangs are behind attacks like these and their motive is to make money," said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant for Sophos.
"Owning a large network of compromised computers is a valuable asset to these criminals and every business needs to take steps to ensure they are not the next victim on their list."
Experts are expecting a busy week ahead as the pool of unpatched PCs still remains a tempting target for hackers as many individuals and organisations have yet to finish the testing and installation of the new code.

umm, what a crock of shit.. Crime for money? lmao what a bunch of bullshit, Botnets are a ego thing with kids, Whos got the biggest botnet must have a large penis.

Your correct about the kids but theres also alot of money being made with those botnets.

They can make money with these big ddos nets,

turn them into spam servers, extort businesses for money or risk getting ddosed, stealing personal information from the machines, etc

Yeah seems to be about money now; back in the day it was kids having fun.
Nobody ever thought about scamming although the interweb is full of commerce now.

Long but decent read of some kid helping an online gambling company battle a DDOS extortion scam:

It is funny how people think it is hard to geta botnet. I could obtain a 100,000+ botnet in less than a couple days, easy. Like someone else said, "e-penis" is what it is generally about. People have begun to get caught left and right because of advanced filters on firewalls, better logging on proxies, etc. Why people would want to risk it now I am unsure, especially with how the computer world is being targeted heavily for crime.
