Las redes zombi son un conjunto de equipos en Internet [que afectan] a equipos desprotegidos o no actualizados en sus sistemas de seguridad. Estas redes zombi son usadas para enviar correo no solicitado o, de forma sincronizada, transmitir ataques de negación de servicio distribuido a través de la red, provocando saturación, redes lentas y, en consecuencia, un impacto operacional y económico a cualquier organización. 1, record 1, Spanish, - red%20zombi
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
zombi: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que el sustantivo "zombi", plural "zombis", es la adaptación al español del anglicismo "zombie". Respecto al plural de las expresiones en las que entra la palabra "zombi", son válidas tanto la estructura en aposición "aparatos/bancos zombi" como la concordancia regular: "aparatos/bancos zombis". 2, record 1, Spanish, - red%20zombi
