DEFINITION of 'Botnet' A network of internet-connected devices that have been compromised by hackers without the knowledge of the legitimate owners.
A typical bot net may consist of tens of thousands of computers that are all controlled by a single command and control terminal. Hackers love using bot nets because it allows them to combine the computing power and network resources of all the computers in the bot net to attack a single target.
