On Tuesday, Google disclosed it recently disrupted a massive network of computers infected by Glupteba. The company estimates the malware has infected approximately one million Windows PCs globally, which would make it one of the largest known botnets to date.
A botnet is a network of computers or internet-connected devices all infected by malware that is under the control of a single party. In this case, Google traced Glupteba to at least two individuals based out of Russia. The company is suing them in hopes it will “set a precedent, create legal and liability risks for the botnet operators, and help deter future activity.”
At times, the company says it saw the network grow by about 1,000 devices per day. The malware that adds a computer to the Glupteba botnet is usually found hidden on sketchy websites that offer free software. According to Google, Glupteba’s operators used the malware to steal personal data, mine cryptocurrencies and funnel other internet traffic through the infected machines.
Per The Washington Post, the hackers also used some of Google’s own services to distribute the malware. The company suspended more than 1,000 accounts that had been used to spread Glupteba.
“We don’t just plug security holes, we work to eliminate entire classes of threats for consumers and businesses whose work depends on the Internet,” the company said. “We have teams of analysts and security experts who are dedicated to identifying and stopping issues like DDoS, phishing campaigns, zero-day vulnerabilities, and hacking against Google, our products, and our users.”
Google coordinated with internet infrastructure providers to disrupt the botnet, but warns it has so far only succeeded in stopping it temporarily. Glupteba uses blockchain technology as a failsafe against a complete shutdown. When it doesn’t hear from its owners, the software is programmed to automatically use data encoded on the Bitcoin blockchain for instructions on how to reconnect.
“Unfortunately, Glupteba’s use of blockchain technology as a resiliency mechanism is notable here and is becoming a more common practice among cyber crime organizations,” Google said. “The decentralized nature of blockchain allows the botnet to recover more quickly from disruptions, making them that much harder to shutdown.” The company says it’s working with its partners to make the internet more resilient to such attacks.

Avalanche protocol solves that if you're worried about it.
The real question is, are computer, bots, algorithms and AI living in our world?
Or are we living in theirs?
I think the flip already happened.

Sherman is a cockroach. I remember his little fear mongering speech back in the Great Recession. Putting on a nice act. I wouldn't trust anything coming out of his whore mouth.
Interesting discussion here on the BitBoy Crypto channel. Jayson Casper sees Ethereum potentially going back to 0.15 of Bitcoin or beyond. In 2018 it peaked at around 0.15 BTC. The Bitcoin supply is currently about 0.16 of Ethereum's supply. So 1 ETH being worth 0.15 BTC makes sense to me. Especially when you consider all the use cases of Ethereum compared to Bitcoin. Ethereum has already flipped Bitcoin a while ago in a number of areas: number of users, wallets, transactions, projects etc.
I'd like to see all these crypto projects do well. If Bitcoin takes a crap it will drag down all the other cryptos. So Bitcoin going sideways or trending up slowly would be great.

Don't you find it weird that Bitboy claims there are powers manipulating the Crypto market and that one of those powers (Mr. X as he calls him) is feeding him all the important details? Lol
Only time I watch those videos is to watch him walk back all the predictions he has put out using "Mr. X" as his source.
Nobody knows what's going to happen. Bitboy's channel is interesting with his around the block segment where they have multiple people giving their views on what's happening. But the reality is nobody knows really how things will go.Don't you find it weird that Bitboy claims there are powers manipulating the Crypto market and that one of those powers (Mr. X as he calls him) is feeding him all the important details?

He has done pretty good for himself though with a crypto portfolio over $20 million. But he gets a lot of revenue from advertisements and special deals with new projects. He did not get to $20 million with trading alone.
See you boys in 2023

Yup, $360 is very little for me but even a year ago my wife would be pissed at me for spending that on "bitcoins" since she's heard it could all go to zero at anytime.
I have her understanding crypto a little more now so even if I told her about this one, she wouldn't be mad if I thought it was a good buy.
Is this pentoshi or Pierre?time to buy SHIB
my limit order just got filled earlier so I’ll be cheering for some boom sticks
