Eye on Cybercrime reports that: 'Researchers at the University of California, San Diego, and the International Computer Science Institute, Berkeley, have produced a very useful and highly empirical paper [1.9MB PDF] which provides an interesting inside view into the operation of the Storm botnet. The research involved actively hijacking a portion of the botnet and gathering data on its behaviour and the behaviour of spam recipients. This paper is receiving quite a lot of attention, including BBC news coverage.'
