Black hat hacker claims owner of 3-million botnet and can earn $20k per hour


A self-claimed black hat hacker who participated Reddit AMA said he can earn between $15,000 to $20,000 per hour.

In Reddit AMA or ask me anything, the hacker reveals using his 3-million strong bot he can gained such amount of money in an hour.

The hacker using the online name throw4way1945, moreover claimed he coded his bot from scratch for three years and it is able to send 90 million spams per day but Reddit users doubt it.

“It took me nearly 3 years to code my bot from scratch. I can send 90 million spam emails a day. $150 for 1mil emails + ddos + banking,” he wrote.

This time, the AMA was removed as the moderator commented: This whole thread reeks of bullsh*t and I’m removing it. I’m not going to drop docs on op, but he’s 95% full of sh*t.”
