Hacking hackers

Police across Quebec staged raids Wednesday, targetting computer hackers.
The raids come after a lengthy investigation by provincial police into the hackers' activities. Police say 17 hackers, aged 17-26, took control of a million computers around the world. Sixteen of them have been charged with illegal use of computers. One is at large. They face a maximum 10 year sentence. Police won't say if and by how much the thieves could have profited. They say they caused an estimated $45 million in damage.

Does anyone have anymore info on this!?!?!?

So what was the upside to this crime? What made it worth the risk? What was the payoff?

Infecting peoples machines with more shit, total control if desired, sell "traffic" to victims / sell "clicks" to unscrupulous webmasters (AdSense or other PPC), ... ... ...

From what I heard and read, here and there... there's a pretty strong underground/shady economy going on online. Lot's of shit happening.

You can rent botnets for pretty good monies.

I could see kids playing with a botnet for DOS attacks etc.. but the age group involved with this would have been about making bucket loads of money... I guess they could have set it up for "all of the above", but I would think the majority of it would have been for spam... yes? no?

You capitalists...

I used mine to take over more computers.. and so on...

After Shock Media · 02-21-2008, 06:14 AM

Didnt check story but did they recover the cash or will it be sitting somewhere collecting interest and such waiting for them to get out. Unless of course the one on the run has access to it. Im guessing with that much loot exile in some non extradition country wouldnt be bad.

sumphatpimp · 02-21-2008, 06:20 AM

their is no money in botnets kids

I chatted with a guy that was raided yesterday(the dude they were looking for was at his place). I am pretty sure it wasn't that much of a for profit operation.
