The first M3AAWG Bot Metrics Report was issued in September 2014 and it is the first industry report of its type with data provided directly by service operators and ISPs. The report details the number of subscribers identified as having a system infected by malware, also known a “bot,” and the percentage of those subscribers notified of the problem. It is the first cooperative effort by network service providers to quantify the extent of malicious bots infecting their subscribers.
