Donbot, also known by its aliases Buzus and Bachsoy,[1] is a botnet mostly involved in sending pharmaceutical and stock-based e-mail spam.[2][3]

The Donbot botnet is thought to consist of roughly 125,000 individual computers,[2] which together send 800 million spam messages a day.[4] This amount equals about 1.3% of the estimated total global spam volume[5] of 230 billion messages a day,[6] though the botnet has known spikes where it accounted for up to 4% of the total spam volume.[7]
