"Botology" lessons on the pages of the Anti-virus Times

The first issue is devoted to a phenomenon that is recently gaining momentum—mobile botnets. In this case, Android device users are mostly at risk, since it is chiefly this platform cybercriminals are now devoting particular attention to.

"Mobile" botnets can consist of tens of thousands of infected devices and perform various functions—from sending spam to carrying out DDoS attacks on websites. Mobile banking Trojans pose a particularly significant threat to careless online banking users.

Study "botology" and protect yourself and your PC from being drawn into a botnet that can harm you, as well as other users!
