Similarly to Koobface, Zeus has also been used to trick victims of tech support scams into giving the scam artists money through pop-up messages that claim the user has a virus, when in reality they might have no viruses at all.

"description": "The Hail Mary Cloud was, or is, a password guessing botnet, which used a statistical equivalent to brute force password guessing. The botnet ran from possibly as early as 2005, and certainly from 2007 until 2012 and possibly later. The botnet was named and documented by Peter N. M. Hansteen. The principle is that a botnet can try several thousands of more likely passwords against thousands of hosts, rather than millions of passwords against one host. Since the attacks were widely distributed, the frequency on a given server was low and was unlikely to trigger alarms. Moreover, the attacks come from different members of the botnet, thus decreasing the effectiveness of both IP based detection and blocking.",

The botnet originated in Russia (though it was not state sponsored), and utilized foreign computers and networks in Europe and North America. The infrastructure consisted of 571,904 dedicated IPs, 6,000 domains, and 250,267 distinct URLs, each of which could only house a video ad, and used variants of the names of famous publishers to fool those looking into the domains. This led the operators to game the system, leading ad selection algorithms to select these fake web pages over larger corporate pages from legitimate companies, and charge advertisers at a premium. About 570,000 bots were used to execute clicks on those websites, “watching” up to 300 million video ads a day while the bots mimicked normal computer user behavior. Estimated clicks per day generally reached between 200 and 300 million per day. The botnet relied on data servers instead of more traditional botnets that rely on infected PCs and mobile devices.",

In China the botnet was found to be present on systems that came brand-new from the factory, indicating the trojan was installed somewhere during the assembly and manufacturing process. According to Microsoft the systems at risk also contained a counterfeit installation of Microsoft Windows. On 10 September 2012 Microsoft took action against the Nitol Botnet by obtaining a court order and subsequently sinkholing the 3322.org domain. The 3322.org domain is a Dynamic DNS which was used by the botnet creators as a command and control infrastructure for controlling their botnet. Microsoft later settled with 3322.org operator Pen Yong, which allowed the latter to continue operating the domain on the condition that any subdomains linked to malware remain sinkholed.",

"description": "Zemra is a DDoS Bot which was first discovered in underground forums in May 2012. Zemra is capable of HTTP and SYN Flood flooding and also has a simple Command & Control panel that is protected with 256-bit DES encryption for communicating with its command and control (C&C) server. Zemra also sends information such as Computer name, Language settings, and Windows version. It will send this data to a remote location on a specific date and time. It also opens a backdoor on TCP port 7710 to receive commands from a remote command-and-control server, and it is able to monitor devices, collect system information, execute files, and even update or uninstall itself if necessary.",
