It's just a big guessing game people! lol
Are botnets even worth mining bitcoins anymore? even with say 2 million infected shit 2 cpu pc's chuggin' away?
Some experts estimate that such networks could be generating as much as $100,000 (£60,000) each day.
I dunno lol
Edit: It could just be it was a botnet mining a cpu based crypto , using bitcoin as the scapegoat here..
