The U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) jointly with law enforcement partners in Germany seized the infrastructure of a Russian botnet called as ‘RSOCKS’ that hacked millions of computers and other electronic devices around the world.
Generally, a botnet is a number of Internet-connected devices, each of which runs one or more bots. Botnets can be used to perform Distributed Denial-of-Service attacks, steal data, send spam, and allow the attacker to access the device and its connection.
