This server can then instruct the devices in the botnet to perform disruptive and criminal tasks.<\/p>\n<p>The instructions to locate those domains are hard-coded in the malware used to hack computers, Google said, and if the pre-determined domains are shut down by law enforcement bodies, the infected devices can no longer be operated by the botnet controller.<\/p>\n<p>However, in the Glupteba botnet, Google said, the domain names used to run the hacked computers were refreshed by querying the bitcoin blockchain.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Glupteba malware is hard-coded to \u2018search\u2019 the public bitcoin blockchain for transactions involving three specific bitcoin addresses that are controlled by the Glupteba Enterprise,\u201d Google said in its lawsuit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom time to time, the Glupteba Enterprise executes transactions in those addresses, and as part of those transactions, the Glupteba Enterprise leaves in the blockchain the location of the domain for a backup command-and-control server,\u201d Google said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Glupteba Enterprise provides the command-and-control server information in an encrypted code in a transaction-specific message field on the bitcoin blockchain,\u201d the tech firm went on.<\/p>\n<p>The net effect, said Google, is that whenever a command-and-control server was taken offline by those seeking to impede the hackers, the Glupteba malware could easily switch to a new server by means of the instructions that are publicly visible within bitcoin\u2019s transaction record.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe Glupteba botnet cannot be eradicated entirely without neutralizing its blockchain-based infrastructure\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe Glupteba Enterprise\u2019s use of blockchain technology to reinforce its command-and-control servers means the Glupteba botnet is particularly difficult to disrupt,\u201d Google said.<\/p>\n<p>And as long as bitcoin exists, this form of remote control of botnets cannot be stopped, Google went on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Glupteba botnet cannot be eradicated entirely without neutralizing its blockchain-based infrastructure,\u201d the tech giant said.<\/p>\n<p>According to the lawsuit, Glupteba has sold Google users\u2019 account information to third parties, enabling them to buy advertisements and launch fraudulent ad campaigns, all without the true account owners\u2019 knowledge or authorisation.<\/p>\n<p>One of the websites used by Glupteba to sell access to hacked computers, called \u2018Don\u2019t.farm\u2019, even provides a manual instructing its users how to exploit accounts while minimising the risk of discovery by the account owner or by Google, the tech firm said.<\/p>\n<p>For example, Don\u2019t.farm told its clients not to increase advertising budgets by more than 30 percent at once, and that any domains used for advertisements should be at least two weeks old, if not significantly older.<\/p>\n<p>In its lawsuit, Google is seeking injunctive relief and damages, including the disgorgement by Glupteba of its past profits.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/eepurl.com\/du6eTr\">Sign up here<\/a> for the New Money Review newsletter<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/blubrry.com\/newmoneyreview\/\">Click here<\/a> for a full list of episodes of the New Money Review podcast: the future of money in 30 minutes<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Related content from <em>New Money Review<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/newmoneyreview.com\/index.php\/2020\/12\/10\/to-be-human-is-to-deceive\/\">To be human is to deceive<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/newmoneyreview.com\/index.php\/2020\/11\/12\/let-the-bad-guys-in\/\">Let the bad guys in<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/newmoneyreview.com\/index.php\/2021\/10\/05\/fighting-the-crypto-scammers\/\">Fighting the crypto scammers<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Russian hacking group made clever use of bitcoin to prevent law enforcement bodies from impeding its operations, Google has alleged.
