The event marked the launch of the new U.S. Department of Commerce and U.S. Department of Homeland Security effort to promote the creation of a voluntary industry code of conduct to address the detection, notification, and mitigation of botnets. Over the past several years, botnets have increasingly put computer owners at risk. A botnet infection can lead to the monitoring of a consumer?s personal information and communication, and exploitation of that consumer?s computing power and Internet access. Networks of these compromised computers are often used to disseminate spam, to store and transfer illegal content, and to attack the servers of government and private entities with massive, distributed denial of service attacks. The Departments seek public comment from all Internet stakeholders, including the commercial, academic, and civil society sectors, on potential models for detection, notification, prevention, and mitigation of botnets? illicit use of computer equipment.
