Pushdo Pushing Six Figures
Further sinkholing by the Bitdefender research team saw the Pushdo bots calling home from a surprising 183.909 unique IP addresses, spread all over the world.
As per the latest count, the botnet still has its center of gravity in Asia, with India being the most affected country, followed closely by Vietnam and the Islamic Republic of Iran. The definitive top ten looks as follows:
India|21768 Vietnam|20043 Iran, Islamic Republic of|9787 United States|9001 Turkey|8865 Indonesia|8240 Thailand|8062 Argentina|6212 Peru|5828 Mexico|5447

“Overall, we think this is a rather wide-spread bot-net, with an efficient command and control system, as evidenced by the very fast switchover to using the new DGA”, commented Bitdefender researcher Doina Cosovan.
