New point-and-click tool allows virtually anyone to create a piece of malware that will connect a PC to a budding Twitter botnet. The tool, known as TwitterNET Builder, is being used by attackers to build quick and easy botnets that are then controlled through commands sent via Twitter messages. A newer version uses less-obvious commands in its Twitter messages, making it somewhat more difficult for officials to identify the malicious accounts and disable them. The new attack tool is simple to use, but experts say it also leaves would-be DDoS attackers open to discovery.
