After the take down of the botnet that goes with the Koobface worms, the command and control servers associated with it have gone under refresh in order to beat the IT security agents. According to IT company Kaspersky, this refresh was made so that fighters of crimes on the Internet would have much more to handle. IT connectivity users should be aware of the fact that an anti-virus is not enough on the Web. David Emm, senior technology consultant at Kaspersky Lab UK said that "The changes are a sign that botnet gangs are not just putting their malware out there but managing it like sys admins. Cybercriminals are constantly monitoring their infrastructure making sure the botnet is neither attracting too much attention nor running with too few command and control servers, which would risk them losing their control over the botnet." Emm is sure of the fact that the take down activities are monitored and hackers want to find a counterstrategy.
