Microsoft Corp. led a team that has successfully disrupted some of the world’s most threatening and damaging cybercrime operations. Microsoft seized servers from two hosting locations in Scranton, Pa., and Lombard, Ill. The maneuver, codenamed Operation B71, took down two IP addresses behind the Zeus command and control structure. Microsoft says it is monitoring 800 domains, which are working to identify thousands of computers infected by Zeus. “Disrupting the Zeus botnets is just one strike in our long-term commitment to help defend and protect people,” a spokesman says.”]
