"US crime-fighters are closing in on a gang behind a huge botnet after
taking control of the criminals' servers.
It is the first time FBI investigators have used such a method.
The US Justice Department had to seek court permission from a judge to
carry out the sting.
It enabled the authorities to issue its own commands, effectively
ordering the malware to shut down. It also logged the IP addresses of
compromised machines."
