The World's Biggest Botnets

ancientribe writes "There's a new peer-to-peer based botnet emerging that could blow the notorious Storm away in size and sophistication, according to researchers, and it's a direct result of how Storm has changed the botnet game, with more powerful and wily botnets on the horizon. This article provides a peek at the 'new Storm' and reveals the three biggest botnets in the world (including Storm) — and what makes them tick and what they are after."

Re:Note total absence of word "Microsoft"

I have a sense of humor, but it's awfully hard to tell the difference between the joke you made, and the serious opinion of a flaming anti-Microsoft zealot, which there are plenty of around here. The fact that I recognized that it could be a joke was why I asked at all, as a matter of fact. If I were certain you were serious, I'd have either ignored you, flamed you into oblivion, or argued with you, depending on my mood.

Yes, MicroTards. I'd like to take credit for that, but it's too obvious.
