September 28, 2011

Richard Domingues Boscovich Senior Attorney, Microsoft Digital Crimes Unit:
Building on the recent successes of the Rustock andWaledac botnet takedowns, I’m pleased to announce that Microsoft has taken down the Kelihos botnet in an operation codenamed “Operation b79” using similar legal and technical measures that resulted in our previous successful botnet takedowns.
