A new botnet has been detected which could have potentially affected over a million web users in the last 12 months.
The Kroxxu botnet currently has its grip on around 100,000 web domains and has been spreading password-stealing malware whilst covering its tracks extremely effectively, avast! Virus Lab found.
The surreptitious nature of the botnet meant researchers were unable to determine how the masterminds had monetised the operation.
