Microsoft launched a botnet-focused takedown effort that temporarily blocked small-scale campaigns tied to two pieces of malware. The effort is partially focused on Naser Al Mutairi (a.k. njq8) and Mohamed Benabdellah, who is accused of maintaining and offering the remote access toolkits njRAT and H-worm. As of July 1, the company says an estimated 4 million of its customers’ host names have been disrupted. Microsoft’s 10th botnet crackdown is the 10th time the company has disrupted botnet operations.”]
