About

Ok-Ran Jeong is a leading researcher in cybersecurity, with a primary focus on understanding and combating one of the internet’s most pervasive threats: botnets. Her work provides foundational insights into how networks of infected computers—often numbering in the millions—are weaponized by cybercriminals. Jeong’s major contributions include comprehensive analyses of botnet architectures and their malicious applications, from launching massive denial-of-service attacks and spreading spam emails to committing click fraud and data theft. Her seminal paper, "Botnets: threats and responses" (2011), has garnered 14 citations, while her earlier work, "On botnets" (2010), has been cited 6 times, together establishing a critical framework for researchers and practitioners seeking to understand the lifecycle and impact of these digital armies. By clearly defining the threat landscape, Jeong’s research serves as a vital resource for developing effective detection and mitigation strategies, making her a key voice in the ongoing battle to secure the internet against organized cybercrime.
