Category: High Tech

Email: query-bdtk@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Washington Examiner

Deadline: 12:00 PM EST - 14 October

Query:

Microsoft recently announced that the company and some partners
took down the massive Trickbot botnet. The botnet was apparently
used for all kinds of scams, ransomware and malware, including
COVID-19 scams. Microsoft noted that ransomware is becoming one
of the major methods of attack on the upcoming U.S. elections.

My questions:

-- How important was this effort?

-- What more can be done to disrupt botnets?

-- How big of a threat is ransomware and other botnet methods to
the upcoming U.S. election?
