Youch. Alarum Technologies (NASDAQ: ALAR) had one of its best trading days of the year on June 15, right after the company announced to investors that revenue had increased 64 percent. The stock has been on a downward trajectory ever since. On June 18, we ran a story that cited research from 3 different security firms linking Alarum and its widely-resold NetNut residential proxy service to a 4 year-old botnet called Popa, which was often installed on user devices without consent. Since late last week, when the FBI and industry partners seized NetNut's website and hundreds of domains used to control the Popa botnet, Alarum's stock price has been in a freefall, currently hovering at less than a third of its June 15 high. The stock has fallen again in trading today, likely because the FBI just seized Alarum's domain name as well.
