- costco 3y agoI mean it's enough to make at the most a few thousand a month selling residential proxy plans on crime forums. Not really significant. There are orders of magnitude larger botnets (some 100k, 400k+ in size) you can read about on https://blog.netlab.360.com/ https://blog.netlab.360.com/. Edit: I agree it is important to do takedowns. Qakbot, GameOver Zeus, Emotet, Snake, etc all had actual espionage risk / were cumulatively involved in billions of dollars of theft. But this botnet seems sort of irrelevant.
