What name is given to a group of bots, connected through the Internet, with the ability to be controlled by a malicious individual or group?

A group of bots connected through the Internet with the ability to be controlled by a malicious individual or group is called a “Botnet.” Botnets are often used for various malicious purposes, such as launching distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, spreading malware, sending spam emails, stealing sensitive information, and more. The compromised devices in a botnet are typically referred to as “zombies,” and they are under the remote control of the person or group that created the botnet.
