100,000 Zombie Botnet taken down
The Dutch men were arrested and their huge botnet was taken down last week. These guys were typical of post-2004 hackers - involved in Phishing, Spamming, Scams and DDOS attacks, and profiting from it. These aren't the bedroom teenagers having fun, these guys are real criminals.
This is good news, but don't believe for a minute these guys were the only ones - or even the biggest. My guess is that they got busted because of the DDOS - if they had avoided attacking someone with some clout, they'd probably still be ripping off the little guy.
JaBbA says stay aware.
