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.
