The dismantling of the QakBot botnet is hailed as the largest U.S.-led financial and technical disruption of a botnet infrastructure leveraged by cybercriminals.
The victim computers infected with the QAKBot malware are part of a Botnet (a network of compromised computers) meaning the perpetrators can remotely control all the infected computers in a coordinated manner.
QakBot, like Emotet and IcedID, employs a three-tiered system of servers to control and communicate with the malware installed on infected computers.
Data gathered by Abuse.ch shows that all Qakbot servers are currently offline.
Through its experimentation with diverse attack chains, it becomes evident that the threat actor behind QakBilliard is continuously refining its strategies.
