That Didn’t Take Long

November 29th, 2008

Earlier this month, the Srizbi bot net lost ground when the McColo servers which hosted the domains running the bot net were closed down.

A couple days ago, the spam network started up again using an Estonian ISP. Well, it didn’t last long because the Estonians are on the ball.

An Estonian ISP that temporarily hosted the command-and-control servers for the Srizbi botnet, responsible for a large portion of the world’s spam, has cut off those servers, according to computer security analysts. It’s like the staff was just sitting around on bar stools waiting for the bot net to start back up, and then BAM! Great job guys!

That was quick. Why were they allowed to operate on the McColo servers for so long, yet the Estonians were able to disable them again within 72 hours? Interesting.
