The team say that distributed denial-of-service attacks using a network of 30,000 bots can generate around $26,000 a month. Spam advertising with 10,000 bots generates around $300,000 a month, and bank fraud with 30,000 bots can generate over $18 million per month. But the most profitable undertaking is click fraud, which generates well over $20 million a month of profit.
Does anyone know how those hacks can generate revenues? I mean how can a DDOS generate revenue? What kind of bank fraud can a botnet do? How can click fraud generate profit (I guess if you suddenly receive $20 million on your adsense account google will immediately ban you)?
