Researchers have discovered a major botnet operating out of the Ukraine that has infected 1.9 million machines. The botnet is controlled by six individuals and is hosted in Ukraine. 45 percent of the bots are in the U.S., and the machines are Windows XP. The malware lets an attacker read the victim’s email, inject code into other processes, visit Websites without the user knowing, and register as a background service on the infected machine. Nearly 80 percent run Internet Explorer; 15 percent, Firefox; 3 percent, Opera; and 1 percent Safari.”]
