Pushdo spamming botnet gains strength again
Computers in more than 50 countries are infected with a new version of Pushdo, a spamming
botnet that has been around since 2007 and survived several attempts to shut it down. At one
time, Pushdo-infected computers sent as many as 7.7 billion spam messages per day. Security

the malware has emerged once again, with high concentrations of infections in countries such as
India, Indonesia, Turkey and Vietnam.
