Marco:

Finally some good news. We succesfully obtained shutdown of one of the servers which are spreading Gromozon. Server, hosted in the U.S., was taken offline today and it’ll be taken under investigation.
We at Prevx will continue monitoring situation for new Gromozon variants, providing technical stuff. Now, finally, there’s who’ll manage legal stuff too.
Our thanks go to who helped us taking down the website.

From acorns big trees grow. ;)

Update from PC al Sicuro

During these hours, it looks like that almost all domains used to spread Gromozon - except two - are down.
