Microsoft is now offering a $250,000 reward to help track down the people behind the Rustock botnet. The company helped take down the botnet several months ago and is now looking for information to bring the investigation to a close. Microsoft s Digital Crimes Unit, which was formed to help work with law enforcement and other agencies and vendors on large operations such as botnet takedowns, took out ads in Russian newspapers earlier this year asking for help. The reward is open to people in any country and people with information they think is relevant to the investigation can send it to [email protected].
