Government, industry partner to shut down long-running Sality botnet

Government and industry partners coordinated a takedown of the long-running Sality botnet. A nonprofit organization is actively contacting affected victims to support remediation efforts.

Why it matters: Organizations infected with Sality malware need immediate notification and guidance to remove the botnet and prevent further compromise; practitioners should check systems for indicators of this malware family.
