Abstract

“ The Pobelka Botnet is a case study about -just another- citadel botnet. The botnet was dubbed Pobelka because the Command and Control that hid behind proxies used the domain name Pobelka***.***. Pobelka in Russian means "Money Laundering". Never was this domain used in any campaign nor malware url.
