U.S.-based security company SecurityFocus noticed a rapidly growing network of controlled agents known as bots on Tuesday, which reportedly increased by 600 percent in the space of six hours. The bots were being used to launch DDoS attacks on systems wrongly configured with Microsoft SQL Server software. | ||
