The Debate Over Naming Botnets

The security industry lacks a uniform way to title botnets, and the result is sometimes a long list of names for the same botnet that are used by different antivirus vendors. As it stands now, the infamous Conficker is also known as Downup, Downadup and Kido. The Srizbi botnet is also called Cbeplay and Exchanger. Kracken is also the botnet Bobax. The relentless rise in COVID-19 cases is battering already frayed healthcare systems.
