International Operation Disrupts Sality P2P Botnet

A US-led international operation successfully disrupted the Sality peer-to-peer botnet by sinkholing infected machines. The action targeted systems compromised by the long-running malware family to redirect command and control traffic.

Why it matters: Organizations with systems potentially infected by Sality need to verify remediation and scan for persistence mechanisms, as botnet nodes may have been controlled for months or years.
