Is it implausible? Could you not set up some kind of honeypot machine and then monitor it's activity once it's been zombie'd? (Genuine question - I'm definitely no expert on the topic).
- ivanstojic 16y agoCertainly! That part alone is not only plausible, but also quite common. Antivirus companies, security researchers and various other interested parties have been known to use such tactics. However, it doesn't make sense then those who hacked his supposed honeypot would be aware of his oversight ("they are trying to kill him"), while still using the honeypot to perform whatever illegal shenanigans they were up to ("they are currently downloading plentyoffish’s database").
