FBI Continues to Round Up ‘Botherders’

November 30th, 2007 by Ari Schwartz

Yesterday, the FBI announced success in its efforts to shut down Bot Nets, going after a bunch of different “botherders” based in the US. In the process, the Bureau identified more than 1 million botnet crime victims. The FBI also has been working internationally with its counterparts to shut down botnets around the world. This is an important and encouraging story on the role of law enforcement in preventing major Internet crime such as identity theft and spyware installation.
