According to Kaspersky Labs, cyber criminals are now targeting Bitcoin using Twitter and P2P based botnets. The company also revealed that Android is about 23% of total detected threats that target mobile platforms.

At the end of August, Kaspersky Lab detects malware that targets 35 Bitcoin unique in one way or another. Realizing that their earning potential is very dependent on the number of computers they have access to cyber-criminals have moved to steal wallets Bitcoin to use Twitter and network-based P2P botnet. Cyber ??criminals have used this measure to fight against the corporate servers from virus that can interfere with the operation of a single botnet C & C if no alternatives exist in the network server is dangerous. For example, the bot will send the request to the Twitter account, which provides a command that was left there by the owner of the botnet – which is where Bitcoin-generating programs are downloaded, with instructions that the Bitcoin pool to work with.

Using Twitter as botnet command center is not new; even if it’s the first time it was used with the system Bitcoin.

In August, Kaspersky Lab is also found that one of the largest botnets to hide a real account, because they can be removed by the owners of the servers take a proactive stance against the illegal mining program. To do this, the owner must make a botnet proxy server that interacts with the Special infected computer, and their applications are then transferred to the pond Bitcoin known. It is not possible to identify a special pool that botnet to work with and block fraudulent accounts. In this situation, the only way to intercept these criminal activities is to get full access to one of the proxy server.
