    "Gameover Zeus malware returns stronger than ever

    "THE GAMEOVER ZEUS malware, which recently was the focus of a high profile takedown operation, has returned in the form of an evolved campaign sending out malicious spam messages.

    ..Malcovery reported the new Gameover Zeus botnet has a more robust infrastructure that makes it even more difficult to combat than the previous iteration.

    'The malware seems to have traded its Peer to Peer Infrastructure for a new Fast Flux hosted command and control (C&C) strategy,' the post said.

    'This discovery indicates that the criminals responsible for Gameover's distribution do not intend to give up on this botnet even after suffering one of the most expansive botnet takeovers/takedowns in history.'.....
