3 million strong RAMNIT botnet taken down | CyberCrime | CyberSecurity

3 million strong RAMNIT botnet taken down
Posted on 25.02.2015
The National Crime Agency’s National Cyber Crime Unit (NCCU) worked with law enforcement colleagues in the Netherlands, Italy and Germany, co-ordinated through Europol’s European Cybercrime Centre (EC3), to shut down command and control servers used by the RAMNIT botnet.

RAMNIT spread malware via seemingly trustworthy links sent out on phishing emails or social networking websites. If users running Windows clicked on the links, the malware would be installed, infecting the computer. Infected computers would then be under the control of criminals, enabling them to access personal or banking information, steal passwords and disable antivirus protection.

Investigators believe that RAMNIT may have infected over three million computers worldwide, with around 33,000 of those being in the UK. It has so far largely been used to attempt to take money from bank accounts. Analysis is now taking place on the servers and an investigation is ongoing.
