What do 'hackers' use infected computers to do?
 

When someone has malware or a trojan or something what do most of these people use them for?

I remember way back in 2000 when people were infecting computers with hidden dialers that charged per minute :1orglaugh.

To laugh at your photos...

Popups/Selling traffic, DDOS, Submitting CPA-offers, Pay per install....

Busted. :1orglaugh

spam bots..

View you on your webcam.

they're looking for homemade porn

Don't forget using your computer as a mass email spamming tool. :]

5 main reasons:

for later dos attacks that you will not even know your doing.

spam from your computer

pop up ads that you cannot get rid of

to get your credit card information and passwords

to piss you off (Anarchy shit)

And I think you mean crackers, hackers would not break into your computer unless you where a cracker.

You dont really need the other 4 reasons.

To infect other PCs

pee in your floppy drive

Computers can be infected so that there is spying activity on everything the user does. Viruses can create pop-ups and ads that can make hackers profits.

Serve you ads, install botnets, send spam using your CPU, stole your private data, fuck your ass for nothing

... zango....

spread STDs

Computer AIDS

To fuck around with you...

SSM..... :1orglaugh

proxy server?
