Actually, there were so many questions that we decided to break down this Q&A session into several parts. Today, Vitaly will answer DDoS and botnets related questions.<\/p>\n What is the number of large botnets, that include more than 50,000 zombified computers, in the world?<\/strong><\/p>\n My feeling is that it\u2019s less than 20, but it\u2019s pure speculation, because we usually discover the real size of the botnet only after takedown. While criminals are interested in having as many infections as possible, they may keep the size of the botnet under a certain threshold to stay below the radar.<\/p>\n Free Tool From Kaspersky To Check If Your PC Is Part of #Simda<\/a> Botnet:https:\/\/t.co\/Tidy1kf7Cs<\/a>#SecurityWithoutBorders<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Kaspersky Lab ME (@KasperskyME) April 16, 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
