A Botnet, a play on the words Robot and Net, is a program or bot that operates within a network. And, Smominru is the name of a Botnet miner that recently infected more than 526,000 thousand windows servers.

In total, since its creation in May 2017, it has been estimated that it has stolen just under 9,000 Monero tokens and providing its controllers with somewhere in between $2.8 and $3.6 million US dollars.
