Symantec’s Quick Guide to Scary Internet Stuff
Ran across this video by Symantec explaining what botnets are and how they work. The explanations used in this video are fairly basic, but it is still entertaining and worth watching. The recent over-hyped Conficker virus scare was an example of a botnet scare that caught the world’s attention, even though it hasn’t yet materialized [...]
