Botnet
- It is a collection of internet-connected devices, which may include personal computers (PCs), servers, mobile devices and internet of things (IoT) devices, that are infected and controlled by a common type of malware, often unbeknownst to their owner.
- Infected devices are controlled remotely by threat actors, often cybercriminals, and are used for specific functions, yet the malicious operations stay hidden from the user.
- Botnets are commonly used to send spam emails, engage in click fraud campaigns and generate malicious traffic for distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks.
