CrowdStrike Helps U.S. and Allies Disrupt Sality Botnet
CrowdStrike, working with the U.S. Department of Justice, FBI, DCIS, Shadowserver, international law enforcement, and industry partners, carried out a peer-to-peer sinkhole to disrupt the Sality botnet. The more than 20-year-old operation, blamed on Russian-linked cybercrime, has installed malware since 2003 to enable cryptocurrency theft and cyberattacks in the U.S. and abroad.
