- AhnLab Security intelligence Center(ASEC) has confirmed that the NiceRAT malware has been installed through botnets, which have been trending since 2019.
- In the past, botnets were mainly used by attackers to perform DDoS attacks, with malware such as Nitol being a major component of these botnets.
- However, recently, botnets have also been utilized for the construction of malware that performs functions such as data leakage and additional malware installation, such as NanoCore and Emotet.
- Botnets are controlled by attackers and can be widely distributed.
