88% of the Citadel Zombie network server has been stopped operating

At the TechNet conference this June, Microsoft said the company, together with the FBI, had successfully hit more than 1400 citadel Zombie networks controlled by criminal gangs. This week, Microsoft again released news that about 88% of Citadel botnet servers have been confiscated and stopped serving. "In addition, according to our data, we have known about 40% of the devices infected by the Citadel botnet since June this year," said Richard Domingues Boscovich, assistant lawyer at Microsoft's Digital Crime department at Post. We believe that the activities that have taken place since June have had a noticeable effect, and in the future we will continue to help clean up the infected equipment "498" this.width=498; ' OnMouseWheel = ' javascript:return big ' ) ' style= ' width:470px; height:360px "alt=" "src=" http://s7.51cto.com/wyfs01/M01/11/52/wKioJlHzgFnzJkB7AAB_W35HIwo334.jpg_w600.jpg "width = "640" height= "460"/> In a local survey, Microsoft officials said the Citadel botnet infection resulted in a total of 500 million dollars worth of losses, Microsoft assisted the FBI and U.S. law enforcement officers to actively investigate these servers, to prevent more consumers infected with the malicious program virus. "We hope this action will cause significant damage to the Citadel botnet, reduce the incidence of cyber crime, lift security threats to potential victims and help them focus on their business," Boscovich said. "It is understood that malware in botnets can turn computers into robots capable of attacking servers, ordering these computers to send spam, spread viruses and launch attacks on servers." In this case, Citadel's malware is able to monitor the victim's keyboard operation to obtain the corresponding personal information, net bank account and password, and, more excessively, citadel can block anti-virus sites and prevent users from removing malware.
