Microsoft Vs Waledec
Posted on Wed Mar 10, 2010Victory for Microsoft
Miscrosoft won a critical legal victory this week against Waledec-one of the biggest botnets in the world. Waledec is also responsible for the majority of fake internet pharmacies, male enhancement and designer knock offs. Microsoft blogged the following: "In a recent analysis, Microsoft found that between December 3-21, 2009, approximately 651 million spam emails attributable to Waledac were directed to Hotmail accounts alone." What remains to be seen, is how long it takes Waledec to regroup and changes its strategy.
