Microsoft Fails To Nuke ZeroAccess Botnet

Attacks may be down, but 62% of the malicious infrastructure, along with the P2P communications channel, is alive and well.

The ZeroAccess botnet remains alive, despite Microsoft’s Digital Crimes Unit (MDCU) last week joining forces with the FBI and Europol to scuttle the botnet.
While the group successfully deactivated some of the infrastructure used to power the botnet, it failed to compromise all of the botnet’s click-fraud layer and also left the ZeroAccess peer-to-peer (P2P) control layer completely intact, according to security researchers Yacin Nadji, a PhD candidate at the Georgia Institute of Technology, and Manos Antonakakis, chief scientist at computer security firm Damballa.
