In an announcement on Tuesday, the FBI said that it had successfully “disrupted and dismantled” the Qakbot malware, and had identified more than 700,000 infected computers worldwide — including more than 200,000 in the United States.
The Department of Justice also announced the seizure of more than $8.6 million in cryptocurrency from the Qakbot cybercriminal organization, which will now be made available to victims."

Wenn der Schad-Code eines Bot-Netzes (Hier MyKings, ein Bot, der auf den Diebstahl einer Krypto-Währung spezialisiert ist) unter anderem in einem Bild von Taylor Swift versteckt ist... Spannender Lesestoff zum ersten Kaffee.
Achja, Guten Morgen Euch allen gewünscht. :)

Internet-Router abzusichern ist ebenso wichtig wie bei Computern und Mobilgeräten.
Das #Mirai-#Botnet zeigte eindrucksvoll, wie fatal Sicherheitslücken und Standardpasswörter sich hier auswirken können.
Für viele #Router, die nicht mehr vom Hersteller gepflegt werden, kann die #OpenSource-#Firmware #OpenWRT weiterhin Updates liefern und so #Nachhaltigkeit fördern. OpenWRT bietet meist tiefergehende Konfigurationsoptionen.
