Twitter, Google Docs, and Evernote, respectively. However, the collaboration between the government and industry partners may still disrupt the botnet communications.
Here, to study the possible trends in evolution of botnets, we play the devil’s advocate by using the vulnerabilities of cloud storage services (CSSs) to design a stealthy and robust C&C channel. This is a vital step in developing a truly effective countermeasure to the potential exploitation of CSSs by the botnet C&C.
