Identity: Botnet



There is a new attack called botnet. This botnet attack uses the websites and
takes the command of the website. It also attacks DNS server and the IP address
of the system. Earlier Botnet used to pop a window. The window looked very
friendly and harmless. It used to ask your bank account information and put the
infection into the system, once the information is provided. That was the time
when the Botnet did not attack the DNS server and the IP addresses of any
system.



This Botnet attack causes the distribution of the Spam, targeting the network
system and capturing the passwords etc. Experts may be able to make a dent in
the problem by intercepting and redirecting malicious DNS traffic on their
network, so that requests for a malicious site are cut off.
