So schützen Sie sich effektiv gegen Botnetze | CyberSecurity | eSkills | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Deutsche PC-Nutzer sind ein beliebtes Ziel von Botnetz-Betreibern. Haben Sie wirklich noch die Kontrolle über Ihren PC?


Botnetze werden oft über zentrale Kommando-Server, auch als Mutterschiffe bezeichnet, gesteuert. Die infizierten Rechner, Zombies genannt, halten Kontakt mit einem der Mutterschiffe oder untereinander. Sie geben ausgespähte Daten wie etwa Passwörter für Online-Spiele und Banken-Websites, aber auch gesammelte Mail-Adressen oder Kreditkartendaten weiter. Sie erhalten vom Mutterschiff, teils über zwischen geschaltete Relay-Rechner (Repeater), Instruktionen, etwa Adressen und Inhalte von zu versendenden Spam-Mails.
