Botnet still the top malware infection in India: Report by F-Secure

The top malware infection in India is still Botnet related, suggests an F-SecureF-Secure Report. Hackers manage to own your PC’s and use them for spamming, DDOS (Type of Denial of Service (DoS) attack) or other malicious activity to make substantial amount of money!

A β€˜bot’ is primarily a type of malware that an attacker can use to control an infected computer or mobile device. A group or network of machines that have been co-opted this way and are under the control of the same attacker is known a β€˜botnet’.

Despite the decline of Downadup/Conficker, infections like Sality, Ramnit and Virtob have continue to mark their presence in the Indian threat landscape over the period of last 3 years. 2014 highlighted many threats and F-Secure timely highlight them to keep its existing and prospective users safe.

I would hereby like to explore an interaction opportunity for Mr. Amit Nath, Country Manager, India & SAARC – F-Secure who would be able to share further highlights and India specific data & their expansion plans.
