4chan’s /b/ board is back up again but what was it that happened causing it to go down for a week?
A source from businesspundit.com tells us that:
Spammers posted pics with a link saying “See nude girls here?” -The link led to a zip file that was an autoexecutable virus. Allegedly the autoexecutable was a virus based on Virtumonde. The altered virus was able to create a MASSIVE botnet capable of DDosing the board. So in essence, the people who brought down /b/ turned out to be /b/ itself. To many people got infected with the virus that is DDosing that board.
So, in the end, it seems you can only fight /b/ with /b/
