New P2P botnet infects SSH servers all over the world:
Researchers have found what they believe is a previously undiscovered botnet that uses unusually advanced measures to covertly target millions of servers around the world.
The botnet uses proprietary software written from scratch to infect servers and corral them into a peer-to-peer network, researchers from security firm Guardicore Labs reported on Wednesday. P2P botnets distribute their administration among many infected nodes rather than relying on a control server to send commands and receive pilfered data. With no centralized server, the botnets are generally harder to spot and more difficult to shut down.
"What was intriguing about this campaign was that, at first sight, there was no apparent command and control (CNC) server being connected to," Guardicore Labs researcher Ophir Harpaz wrote. "It was shortly after the beginning of the research when we understood no CNC existed in the first place."

MONKEY BUSINESS Snatched from their mums, chained & tortured – how helpless monkeys are sold to ‘slave schools’ and even used for sex
Forced to wear make-up and raped
Sickeningly, it’s not just exhausting farm work primates are forced to carry out.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, former director of Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation UK Michelle Desilets previously revealed the full horror of Pony - the female orangutan who had been forced to work as a prostitute for remote farm workers in Borneo.
Chained to a bed, men could choose to pay to have sex with her – and she was shaved daily and made to wear perfume and jewellery.
Laying bare the sheer terror of Pony’s life, Michelle said: “It was horrifying. She was a sex slave – it was grotesque.
"She was covered in abscesses, and they put make-up and earrings on her.
“She must have been in so much pain. It was horrible to think about how terrified she must have been.”
