More of a blog type post then something you normally find here, but this article is more then worth your attention.

SecurityFocus has a very interesting article that explains how dronerunners are turning their backs on using IRC servers to control their drone-networks. Not really a bad thing, they are supposed to deliver a platform for people to have fun and chat on! But a downside is that people hunting the botnets down have increased difficulty in finding them.

The dronerunners are more and more relying on HTTP botnets.

Thanks to Stefano who passed the URL to me.
