Viewed as the most severe online security threat to both enterprises and consumers, Bots can be used by the external attacker for a wide variety of malicious activities, such as performing a Denial of Service (DoS) attack against an organization’s Web site and collecting confidential information from compromised computers, which can then lead to identity theft and/or distributing spam. Cyber criminals can also use the compromised information for distributing a phishing attack, an attempt to steal personal account information by luring a recipient to respond to a message through a malicious Web site.
