botnets and command-and-control infrastructure
Botnets refer to a network of compromised computers or devices that are controlled by a single entity without the knowledge or consent of the owners. These botnets are used to perform malicious activities such as spamming, distributing malware, launching cyberattacks, or stealing sensitive information. Command-and-control infrastructure refers to the centralized system or infrastructure that manages and controls these botnets, allowing the operator to remotely direct and coordinate the actions of the compromised devices.
