Microsoft y agentes federales logran detener al gigante del spam llamado Rustock

Microsoft y agentes federales lograron detener la semana pasada al proveedor de Spam más importante del planeta, llamado Rustock.

Según dijo el abogado Richard Boscovich, de la Unidad de Delitos Digitales de Microsoft,

Esta red de bots (Botnet) se estima que infectó aproximadamente un millón de ordenadores, que operaban bajo su control y se sabía que era capaz de enviar miles de millones de correos spam todos los días

La redada de los agentes federales, conocida internamente como Operation b107, incluyó la posesión de 7 instalaciones de hosting, en donde también se apoderaron de los ordenadores principales que enviaban los comandos a toda la red de computadoras infectadas para que enviaran los mensajes de Spam.

Según cifras de la firma de Seguridad Symantec, Rustock fue el responsable del 39% del total de Spam en el 2010, así que nos podemos dar una idea de lo significativo de este hecho.
