Rock Phish upgrades its botnet

Ellen Messmer reports that the "cybergang" Rock Phish is upgrading its botnet, according to RSA.

She notes that the group's Asprox botnet "gained attention earlier this year when it was linked to a massive wave of SQL-injection attacks that compromised Web sites."

On a related note, am I the only one who now has the B-52s song "Rock Lobster" in my head?
