Anonymous Sudan has embarked on a campaign to promote the Skynet-Godzilla botnet, a formidable tool wielded in their cyber assaults. This sophisticated botnet, available for hire, offers a range of subscription options to suit various attack durations. Interested parties can access its capabilities for $100 per day, opt for a week-long engagement at $600, or secure a month-long subscription for $1700. With these offerings, Anonymous Sudan seeks to expand the reach and impact of their operations within the cyber realm.
A botnet is a network of interconnected computers, often infected with malicious software, controlled remotely by a threat actor or a group of hackers. These compromised devices, referred to as bots or zombies, can be used to carry out various illicit activities, such as distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, spamming, data theft, and spreading malware. By renting out access to the botnet, they enable other actors to conduct attacks with increased scale and potency, potentially causing significant disruptions to targeted systems or services.
