Well written and a decent read, but honestly though, does anyone actually care? Sure, disclose this to the FBI but I can anticipate the apathy of anyone who is even a little familiar with the HF skid scene.

It's just another skid that made some bruteforcing malware but this time let the other little HF skiddies have fun with it too instead of just hoarding it for himself.

Really he is a skid? his aptitude at such a young age is very impressive to me.

The intrusion techniques weren't novel but the overall execution was masterful enough to raise his botnet into some of the largest and most powerful in history.

Innovation is not the only route to talent. And I'm unsure whether they do or don't, but people should care. I hope he gets extradited.
