[Krebs on Security] 'Operation Tovar' Targets 'Gameover' ZeuS Botnet, CryptoLocker Scourge

Krebs on Security has posted a new item.

The U.S. Justice Department is expected to announce today an international law
enforcement operation to seize control over the Gameover ZeuS botnet, a
sprawling network of hacked Microsoft Windows computers that currently infects
an estimated 500,000 to 1 million compromised systems globally. Experts say PCs
infected with Gameover are being harvested for sensitive financial and personal
data, and rented out to an elite cadre of hackers for use in online extortion
attacks, spam and other illicit moneymaking schemes.
