Comment on Discovered: Botnet Costing Display Advertisers over $6,000,000 per Month

Maybe it really is just windows users running IE 9 on windows 7...and maybe it just crashes on clicks sometimes because the tracking overloads it?

Do they have the bot code? I didn't see anything about where it came from...just an assumed analysis of effect. Just saying, it might not be a bot or malware at all.

The analysis of click and mouse traces location distribution vs humans at the end makes it pretty clear that these are not humans.
