A botnet refers to a network of interconnected malicious bots that are controlled remotely by a bot master. They have kept individual users and organizations on their toes for decades by instigating massive data theft, click frauds, DDoS attacks, and spamming campaigns. Botnets are also involved in stealth crypto mining and extortion strategies. Because they intelligently mimic human behavior, many people do not suspect that they have been plagued by botnets that are quietly conducting nefarious acts controlled by malicious actors.<\/span><\/p>\n

Botnet activity causes an increase in CPU load, making the server heat and a spike in web traffic which are the only red flags in most cases of a botnet attack. The average user can not notice such activity. Because of their sophistication, the botnets are invisible to major security solutions, like antiviruses.<\/span><\/p>\n
