From the “People’s Republic’ files:
TORONTO. Who was behind the massive GhostNet botnet that comprised nearly 1,300 government computers around the world?
The short answer is : we still don’t know.
That’s the word from researcher Nart Villeneuve who gave a talk about his GhostNet experiences at the SecTor security conference. I wrote about GhostNet back in March, when Villeneuve and his crew at the University of Toronto first reported the diplomatically targeted botnet.
I collected the IP address on my web site when it was cracked. Several from China. One pretty sophisticated MYSQL attack. Some other’s from Romania. Is this information useful to anyone? Are there any central information sources that can utilize social networking?
