Interesting developments going on. The P2P botnet created by
Storm-Worm variants has been used to launch Distributed
Denial-of-Service attacks. Targets include several domains used by
the Warezov/Medbot gang with names like
adesuikintandefunhandesun.com, esunhuitionkdefunhsadwa.com,
shionkertunhedanse.com, huirefunkionmdesa.com et cetera. Also,
several antispam organizations have been attacked.
Joe Stewart has done a
good write-up about this.
There has been some speculation that these DDoS attacks might be
related to the attacks on the root nameservers earlier this
week.
