Abstract
“ The Pushdo botnet, known for delivering a bevy of malware through its spamming module Cutwail, is being updated to leverage a new domain-generation algorithm (DGA).
According to researchers at Bitdefender Labs, over 6,000 infected machines in the 1.5 million-strong botnet now host the new malware variant. On Monday, the Bitdefender team discovered the modified version of Pushdo, and by Tuesday, thousands of unique IP addresses worldwide were attempting to contact the malware's control hub – a count that only includes the most affected countries.
