I was explaining the recent Bitcoin attack to Gloria, and noted the estimate someone had given that a 10^5 strong botnet could generate $97,000/annum. The analyst had noted that Bitcoin attacks might not be popular, since standard botnet operations, such as spam, netted more revenue than that.
Then I suddenly remembered that, over the past week, a number of observers have noted a decline in spam volumes. I wonder if some botherders, possibly not as good at math, converted some of their networks? ====================== (quote inserted randomly by Pegasus Mailer) [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Don't bother to agree with me, I've already changed my mind. victoria.tc.ca/techrev/rms.htm http://www.infosecbc.org/links http://blogs.securiteam.com/index.php/archives/author/p1/ http://twitter.com/rslade _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
