Storm botnet

The Storm botnet refers to a large network of compromised computers that were infected by the Storm Worm, a type of malware that was first identified in early 2007. The Storm Worm was distributed through various means, including email attachments disguised as news stories or other enticing content in order to trick users into downloading it. Once a computer was infected, it became part of the botnet, allowing attackers to control it remotely.
