Botnet attacks
Some of the most common actions performed by malware today are the creation of robots, botnets and malware connecting to servers on the Internet.
A botnet consists of thousands of sleeping robots installed in computers around the world. These robots are installed without the user’s knowledge and can be remotely controlled by computer crimi-nals in order to perform various illegal activities, such as Distributed Denial of Service attacks (DdoS), phishing attempts, spamming, keylogging etc.
The malware connects to servers on the Internet to either download more malicious files or to upload information taken from the computer where it is installed. This can be everything from documents to usernames, passwords and credit card information. The information provided by the SandBox Reporter can be used in detection systems to identify and block malicious behavior not yet detected by reactive antivirus technologies.
