Maxim Senakh was sentenced to 46 months in prison for developing and managing a Linux botnet using Ebury malware. Ebury, an SSH backdoor Trojan created specifically for Linux, FreeSBD and Solaris, was detected in 2011. The malware was used to send 35 million spam emails to 25,000 servers across the world, to infect them and turn them into a botnet used for illicit gains through advertising click fraud. On a daily basis, it redirected over 500,000 users to exploit kits.”]
