Microsoft to distribute botnet intelligence to governments, industry
Microsoft is testing a new service to distribute threat data captured from botnets and other sources to governments, law enforcement, computer emergency response teams, and companies.
Microsoft representatives told the International Conference on Cyber Security being held this week in New York that the company plans to provide intelligence feeds using the data it collects from captured botnets, such as Kelihos and Rustock, to government and industry partners, according to a report by Kaspersky Lab’s Threat Post.
