The Dreambot malware botnet appears to have gone silent and possibly shut down, according to a report published today by the CSIS Security Group, a cyber-security firm based in Copenhagen, Denmark.

The company is reporting that the Dreambot's backend servers have gone down in March; about the same time when the cybersecurity community also stopped seeing new Dreambot samples distributed in the wild.

"The lack of new features? The multiplication of new Gozi variants? The huge rise of Zloader? COVID-19? We can't be sure exactly what was the cause of death, but more and more indicators point at the end of Dreambot," said Benoit Ancel, malware analyst at the CSIS Security Group.
