Botware raged in August

Security firm Panda Software warned users not only to be cautious about security threats from viruses but also to other types of malware.

Panda said August was the dominant month for bot software - the "seeding" software that builds botnet and zombie systems to serve the dark purpose of cyber criminals.

Can say criminals are more and more cautious. They no longer want to organize big attacks or "virus pandemics" because actions like these will attract the attention of the press and they easily fall into the hands of security companies. As a result, users will be more alert to them.

The author of malicious software now aims to attack users' systems without any suspicion of suspicion of malicious software that can bring them real profit. .

The most obvious proof is the Microsoft MS06-040 security error. This security error can completely cause a virus pandemic if it was discovered a few years ago. But not now. Every day, there are types of malware detected that target that security exploit. But they exploit it secretly so that no one will know.

Not only that, MS06-040 also created botware raging. It is this security error that causes the number of PC Zombies to increase dramatically over the past time.

The most popular malware in August was Sdbot.ftp - a variant of the computer worm Sdbot that could infect via an FTP connection.

Jupillites.G and Netsky.P are ranked 2nd and 3rd respectively, attacking a security error in Internet Explorer. The next location belongs to Sinowal.BV Trojan and Bagle.pwdzip.

Ranked No. 6 is W32 / Parite.B - a long-term variant that infects EXE and 7th files is a Trojan. Downloader. Finally, Exploit / Metafile Ailis.A.worm.
