The Rise of Botnets

A lot of these major botnets big large criminal groups are kind of taking a step back for example like you're saying with iSID we haven't seen a ton of iSID campaigns in recent weeks. Pym: I think we can tie some of this back to the Conti implosion and so for those of you who aren't aware Conti was a very large cyber criminal gang responsible for very very high profile ransomware attacks. It's just not really encouraging too if it looks like 99 percent of your botnet is down all the time, he says.
