10:53 In Germany starts service to combat botnets | |
| And this service is not for advanced experts, who want something out there to analyze, but for ordinary Internet users. The service is intended to facilitate the blocking of any suspicious software, which is often the key that opens our PCs to intruders. The program is run by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and will cost approximately 2.7 million U.S. dollars. Support by the Federal Commission for information security, also known as the BSI. Running this program will be implemented on September 15. "The main goal of the program - to exclude Germany from the top-10 list of countries with the largest and most active botnets" - says on the page describing the project. Currently, many large and not very telecom-service providers from around the world are trying to cope with botnets, which are used by hackers with a different purpose. Who sends spam, someone steals personal information, who else than something bad deals. In general, providers are struggling to deal with this attack - for example, some computer users block to complete recovery. Of course, if the fight against botnets will address not only individual organizations, and most Internet service providers, the problem becomes somewhat less relevant. In Germany, just decided to combine the service providers to combat botnets. In case of infection will warn users of e-mail, by telephone, other communication channels. Automating the process of combating malicious software, according to experts, is able to reduce the number of technicians and simultaneously accelerate the process of elimination identified botnets. It is worth noting that within the German program has also established a website and a discussion of what constitutes a botnet, and suggests various means to combat them. If none of the proposed methods did not work, internet service provider is obligated to help the client solve the problem. Interestingly, the service is completely free, if that user will only pay for services. At the moment, their willingness to participate in the fight against botnets expressed for five large German ISP. In the case of the initial success of the program will be expanded to help more effectively combat this scourge. Well, let's see how the Germans would do to evolve, perhaps in the CIS rewarding experience pereymut? Source. | |
