In its most complex effort to disrupt botnets to date, Microsoft, in collaboration with the financial services industry — including the Financial Services – Information Sharing and Analysis Center (FS-ISAC) and NACHA – The Electronic Payments Association — as well as Kyrus Tech Inc., announced it has successfully executed a coordinated global action against some of the most notorious cybercrime operations that fuel online fraud and identity theft. With this legal and technical action, a number of the most harmful botnets using the Zeus family of malware worldwide have been disrupted in an unprecedented, proactive cross-industry action against this cybercriminal organization.
 
Zeus Cybercrime Operation? Sounds like something Team Bartowski would be involved in.
 
Well that only took 2 1/2 years and untold billions in fraud. Too bad ZEUS is a creation kit and more will pop up in it's place
 
How about letting the collaboration speak for itself with the actual reduction of botnets and other malware instead of publicly "patting yourselves on the back" with a press releases which really only serves the purpose of giving your nemesis's knowledge.
