I'm finding the details of this operation to be very fascinating, but I'm also rather conflicted about it. It seems like Microsoft is doing a lot of good going on the offensive against these troublemakers, but I'm also concerned about abuse and collateral damage. I don't know enough yet to know if those concerns are unfounded or not.
- xpaulbettsx 15y agoI don't believe there is any collateral damage - they are seizing machines specifically being used by criminals, and when possible, taking control of the botnet and instructing it to destroy itself on the infected machines (i.e. removing the infection).
