Since Operation 'Bot Roast' was announced last June, eight individuals have been indicted, pled guilty, or been sentenced for crimes related to botnet activity. Additionally, 13 search warrants were served in the U.S. and by overseas law enforcement partners in connection with this operation. This ongoing investigative effort has thus far uncovered more than $20 million in economic loss and more than one million victim computers.

FBI Director Robert S. Mueller, III said, "Today, botnets are the weapon of choice of cyber criminals. They seek to conceal their criminal activities by using third party computers as vehicles for their crimes. In Bot Roast II, we see the diverse and complex nature of crimes that are being committed through the use of botnets. Despite this enormous challenge, we will continue to be aggressive in finding those responsible for attempting to exploit unknowing Internet users."

Bot Roast? I wonder how many agents brainstorming around a table it took to come up with that one?

LOL, I guess they didn't think "proxy sting" has that PR hook to it.

He said the suspect was known as a "botherder", and stood at the top of a botnet.

The last time I heard the phrase "bot roast" it involved 12clicks and the cajones of a Russian guy who owned a CJ site.
