Author’s Commentary
“Now that the bad guys have large botnets, they
can commit a large variety of crimes from digital
ad fraud to outright extortion, as the following
examples show. The botnets can be used to
generate billions of fake ad impressions to rip off
advertisers or to DDoS sites (i.e. take-down)
websites by overwhelming them with fake traffic)
in exchange for ransom money. But these are only
scratching the surface.”

Miss Teen USA Hacked Photos
Miss Teen USA was the victim of a “sextortion” scam. Her webcam was
hacked into and the hacker took photos of her undress. The hacker then
asked for more pictures or a “performance” on Skype or else he would
release the photos. The hacker did this to several other girls as well.
