Ubiquitous wrote My thoughts are split about this whole investigation. In one sense, I feel it's a complete waste of tax money as most of these skids who use blackshades don't do much harm with it, only gathering a couple of bots and whatnot. In another sense, it could be worth it for the money they're spending to carry out these investigations, think of the people who are actually large scale hackers holding tens of thousands of bots and are doing lots of harm to the slaves.

One of my friends got a visit from the police for simply purchasing the RAT, he had no slaves at all, but all of his PCs and such were taken away for further investigation.

To be fair, I'm surprised this never took place earlier. The co-(owner) of blackshades was arrested in 2012 as part of the huge carders investigation and they should have found something relating to blackshades then..

seems interesting but i did not see one Uk person been caught.. BlackShades is the easiest way to hack somebody witch is pretty pathetic if you ask me.

What are you talking about? Blackshades never had anything that would make it 'easier to hack' somebody than any other ordinary RAT.

Here the thing I personally run a botnet, and I know from experience its not a waste of time, I personally dont rat I use mine for other items, (not gonna list them). But basic ratting is where it begins

BKR wrote Good thing I use vpn on everything what fools use a rat without a vpn smh.

You made me lol.

You think your $5 VPN is going to stop the feds from finding you?
Even if you have a $1000 VPN, they can and will find you if they want to.

You realize how a VPN works? I personally use VPN (No logs), with a sock 5 (different location for various things), so please tell me how I am gonna be caught? I have been doing this stuff for 7 years.

Where did I imply that running a botnet or RAT'ing was a waste of time? I was simply stating that it's could potentially be a waste of money for the police to go out and find these people.

I know you did, but its not a waste of time because of a lot of these people will progress into other stuff, most people dont stop at simple ratting so what they did was good because later say if only one of them ended up stealing Credit Cards or something of that nature they prevented it, that is what I am getting at.

Just added a lot of information, etc.

They got, in a way what they deserved. It can cost tons of money to get rid of malware/virus's. So they can go without there PC untill 2201 where it will be outdated :BLARGH:

You do realize a lot of them will get probation and go right bak to it?

And you do realize once you go on probation for a cyber crime, you're restricted from access to the internet or a computer.

If you do access a computer or the internet once put on probation, you'll serve the maximum sentence for said crime. (10 years MINIMUM)
