Tech giants like Google and Microsoft are increasingly going after hackers and botnets like Glupteba.
Google found that Glupteba has infected about a million Microsoft Windows devices worldwide, which would put it among the largest botnets analyzed by security experts. In a complaint filed in federal court in New York on Tuesday, Google detailed several different crimes it alleges hackers use the botnet to perpetuate, including stealing and selling log-in information for Google accounts, and selling access to captured devices to other criminals who want to hide their Internet activity.
The hackers used Google’s own services to distribute the malware. Google took down approximately 63 million Google Docs, more than 1,000 Google accounts and over 900 Google Cloud projects that were being used to spread Glupteba, the company said.
