Botnets: The U.S. Is the Problem
We in the U.S. love to point fingers at overseas hackers, phishers and Internet
vagabonds. To many of us, the threats are in Bulgaria, China and Russia. The
reality, apparently, is much closer to home --
the
problem is us.
According to research from SecureWorks, most botnet attacks (those nasties
where a hacker uses your computer to attack others) start right here in the
good, old USA.
