Earlier this week, the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) released an advisory regarding the GameOver Zeus P2P Malware. Along with that advisory was a national press release from the US Department of Justice and the FBI that announced a multi-national effort against the GameOver Zeus botnet.
GameOver Zeus, a.ka. P2P Zeus, is a sophisticated type of malware that is used by cybercriminals to steal infected hosts’ banking information, install other malware, and perform DDoS attacks and other cybercrime-related activities. It is estimated that this botnet has earned over $100 million since 2011 from its victims.
