Abstract
“ * Collectively the top botnets are capable of sending over 100 billion spams per day
- Srizbi maintains the top spot both in terms of number of bots and spamming capacity
- Storm is only a fraction of its former self, and is rapidly becoming a minor player
- Bobax, probably the longest-lived of the template-based spamming botnets is still around, and ranks #2 in number of bots
- Ozdok/Mega-D is still relatively small in numbers, but makes up for its diminutive size with aggressive amounts of spam sent per bot
