Page 2 of 2 According to Bradley Anstis, vice president of products at Marshal, the Srizbi botnet is now the largest spam-sending botnet on the Internet, responsible for 45 percent of all spam caught by its TRACE Team. Marshal estimates it comprises 315,000 PCs and is responsible for an estimated 60 billion spam messages per day.He added: "The Storm botnet still garners the lion's share of the media's attention and it was certainly a major pioneer in botnet development, but today it is responsible for just one percent of spam. The biggest lesson that Storm taught spammers was the power of simple social engineering as a means of infecting computers and propagating their botnet. The simplest tricks are the best and this new one certainly fits the criteria."
