On 16 August 2016, Wapack Labs became
privy to conversations in the dark web that appears to have identified a US Defense Company (DIBCO) conducting anti-botnet activities and active research; exposing the address
from which they operated. As a result of this activity, adversary operators
(who own the botnet) appear to have taken notice.
Wapack Labs believes, with medium-high confidence,
that there will be retaliatory threat posed to the DIBCO –regardless
of the accuracy of the underground chatter.
