You HAS BotNet?
Twitter C&C?
Hackers are now using Twitter to send coded update messages to computers they've previously infected with rogue code, according to a report from net-monitoring firm Arbor Networks.
This looks to be the first reported case of hackers using the popular micro-messaging company to control botnets, which are assemblages of infected PCs that can be directed to spy on their users, send spam, or attack web sites with fake traffic.
Arbor Network's Jose Nazario, an expert on botnets, discovered the so-called command-and-control structure. Infected computers were following the Twitter feed "Upd4t3" (now suspended) through its RSS feed.
