Abstract

“ The ZeroAccess botnet has undoubtedly received the most devastating blow it has ever experienced during its lifetime.

It seems that, for now at least, the botnet owners have given up, with no new plugins being pushed into the P2P network and no new droppers released onto the internet.

The owners still have the capability to try to make the botnet work again as they can seed new files into the network, but with no new droppers being pushed the size of the botnet is rapidly decreasing.
