re: Orphaned Bots Facing Internet Blackout
Does anyone know why the "You are receiving this message because you are infected" message was rejected?-á This looks like an opportunity to educate a captive audience on some basic computer security principals and provide a link so people and businesses can fix their PCs and access points.-á These unpatched devices are targets for a new bot to move in and start the process over again.-á Kicking the can down the road should not be an option.

re: Orphaned Bots Facing Internet Blackout
Security researchers and government worker bees-áhave no clue as to how people really use computers and this is why it's taking them much longer than planned to clean up. -áNeed proof? -áLook at how easy it is to use internet security software.

They spent many years chasing this botnet down and then got "buck fever" and implemented to a very ineffective solution in a rush to publicly declare victory.

Now they face public ridicule as their remediation plan continues to fail miserably.

The DNSChanger Working Group has information on its website on how to test for and clean your machine of the malware, and ISPs are supposed to be reaching out to their customers.

The 10 Most Impactful Types of Vulnerabilities for Enterprises Today
Managing system vulnerabilities is one of the old est - and most frustrating - security challenges that enterprise defenders face. Every software application and hardware device ships with intrinsic flaws - flaws that, if critical enough, attackers can exploit from anywhere in the world. It's crucial that defenders take stock of what areas of the tech stack have the most emerging, and critical, vulnerabilities they must manage. It's not just zero day vulnerabilities. Consider that CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog lists vulnerabilitlies in widely used applications that are "actively exploited," and most of them are flaws that were discovered several years ago and have been fixed. There are also emerging vulnerabilities in 5G networks, cloud infrastructure, Edge applications, and firmwares to consider.
