  1. Last year I was invited to present a talk at a conference called #MicrosoftDCC and spoke about a particularly vicious #botnet #malware called #qakbot.

    My colleague Steeve and I had cracked the methodology for decoding their command-and-control functionality. We published our work in a blog post and presented it at #VirusBulletin, #RMISC, and #DCC.

    Today, the #FBI announced that in an international operation with France, Germany, the Netherlands, Romania, Latvia, and the United Kingdom they have shut down the botnet.

    I do this work to help people everywhere.
