CrowdStrike and Google take down Glassworm botnet channels

CrowdStrike, Google, and the Shadowserver Foundation successfully disrupted the Glassworm botnet by taking down all four of its command-and-control channels simultaneously, which included both traditional servers and stealthy methods like utilizing Google Calendar and blockchain transactions.

Glassworm, known for targeting software developers through malicious open-source package modifications, demonstrated a significant shift in cyber threats, highlighting the need for better protection across developer environments and code repositories.
