Justice said that by seizing control of one of the domains involved in running VNPFilter, it will give owners of infected routers a chance to reboot them, forcing them to begin communicating with the now-neutralized command domain.<\/p>\n<p>The vulnerability will remain, Justice said, but the move will allow them more time to identify and intervene in other parts of the network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington, United States, May 24 &#8211; The US Justice Department said Wednesday that it had seized an internet domain that directed a dangerous botnet of a half-million infected home and office network routers, controlled by hackers believed tied to Russian intelligence.
