Microsoft Takedown of Zeus Botnet

Kudos for Microsoft in taking the lead to squash so many of the botnets out there. They are doing things that law enforcement hasn’t been able to do. And they do it better too. Compare Microsoft’s approach, of selected targeting of specific hosts to the scattershot disruptive approach of the DOJ and ICE of grabbing DNS names.

To me the movie gets pretty boring past the Scranton hosting facility. Hosting services are being provided out of a section of rowhouses? And why does Scranton look like the Ukraine? That place really is a hellhole, isn’t it?

Thanks to Adam for the tip!
