Experts of the Chinese company Qihoo 360Netlab discovered a botnet Fbot that seeks and destroys other botnet – com.ufo.miner, malicious variant identified in February this year, the miner ADB.Miner for mining Monero on Android devices. While Fbot uses blockchain DNS EmerDNS instead of the traditional domain name system, which complicates its detection.

Analysts believe that the Fbot is closely linked to the botnet Satori, however, is modified and DDoS attacks hunts for malware: scans the hardware through the open ports, is installed over a discovered com.ufo.miner and self-destructs.
