Description
Bedep is a botnet that generates fraudulent advertising revenue through click fraud and doubles as a downloader for additional malware. It infects Windows systems through exploit kits and spam campaigns, then connects to command and control servers that direct its fraudulent browsing and payload downloads. The family shares infrastructure with other criminal operations, and researchers have observed it installing banking trojans and other payloads on infected systems.
