Description
Rimecud is a worm and botnet family that spread through removable drives and instant messaging links in the late 2000s. It installed a backdoor that downloaded additional malware, and cyberattackers used its botnet for spam and credential theft until coordinated takedown efforts disrupted its infrastructure.
