zombies

Shambling undead horde

Zombies is the plural of zombie—reanimated corpses in horror fiction and Caribbean folklore, or people who seem lifeless and mechanical: The commuters shuffled onto the train like zombies.

In computing, a zombie is a compromised computer controlled remotely without the owner's knowledge, often part of a botnet.
