In its heyday, the Srizbi botnet was arguably the largest botnet in the world. At one point in charge of an army of infected computers numbering some 450,000, the botnet was at the top of the food chain when it came to spam capacity. But following the shutdown of the McColo in November 2008, Srizbi was crippled, paving the way for other botnets to rise in its place.
