Global operation disrupts Sality botnet
An international operation, supported by Europol, has successfully disrupted the Sality peer-to-peer (P2P) botnet. This long-running criminal infrastructure has been active for two decades, used to distribute malicious payloads to thousands of infected devices. The disruption represents a significant blow to cybercrime activities globally. This collaborative effort between public and private sectors highlights the ongoing fight against sophisticated cyber threats.
