Tom Garrubba, our director of TPRM, is quoted in this article by SiliconANGLE that talks about how Botnets work and how dangerous they can be:

“Botnets are so dangerous because they control large swaths of vulnerable computer systems at a scale, unlike any other attack. Those infected computer pools can then be pointed at legitimate resources and cause havoc,” Garrubba added. “Botnets can perform very disruptive attacks like distributed denial of service or large-scale vulnerability exploitation to sell to initial access brokers who will later lend that access to ransomware gangs.”

Lily Clark is featured in this incfile blog for social media influencers on on how NOT to get hacked.

According to Lily, one of the main things that influencers can do to protect accounts is add two-factor authentication or multi-factor authentication (MFA). “Cracking passwords and finding passwords in breaches is easier than people realize, so that added layer of protection can prevent a lot of damage from threat actors,” she explains.
