More Zombies

From Mary Brown | July 15th, 2009

My recent post on the decentralized denial of service attacks against (primarily) government sites in the US and South Korea included some discussion on the role of zombies or bots in contributing to the success of these kinds of attacks. 

Commtouch, in their Q2 report on Internet Threat Trends, demonstrates that this problem of large numbers of computers that are under the control of hackers, continues to grow.  

What can the information security profession contribute to society in terms of helping to reverse this obviously dangerous trend?  Share your thoughts.
