We've been looking at one of the recent works by Gumblar trojan developers.

They introduced new type of server botnet this year which is capable to automatically support own growth without human interaction or any kind of viral or worm technologies. The bad guys managed to compromise at least 70'000 of webservers worldwide. This presentation will uncover the details how this automated malicious system was built and operated.
