When the Conficker computer worm was unleashed on the world in November 2008, cybersecurity experts did not know what to make of it. Was it a platform for criminal profit, or a weapon? The worm, exploiting security flaws in Microsoft Windows, grew at an astonishing rate, infecting millions of computers around the world within weeks. Once the worm infiltrated one system it was able to link that system with others to form a single network under illicit outside control, a situation known as a "botnet," soon capable of overpowering any of the vital computer networks that today control banking, telephone service, energy flow, air traffic, health-care information, even the Internet itself. This book reports on the battle between those determined to exploit the Internet and those committed to protect it.--From publisher description. 000436199 650_0 $$aComputer viruses. 000436199 650_0 $$aCyberterrorism. 000436199 650_0 $$aComputer crimes. 000436199 85200 $$bgen$$hQA76.76.C68$$iB69$$i2011 000436199 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:436199$$pGLOBAL_SET 000436199 980__ $$aBIB 000436199 980__ $$aBOOK
