Cyber criminals are assembling the biggest botnet for over two years already close to a million PCs online security experts have told vnunet.com.
You need to be *really* sure of your C&C to do that. Otherwise, 10 separate 100K botnets are a better bet. Also, makes it easier to partition if a customer doesnt want/need the whole shebang. On the other hand, 1m+ botnets have been spotted before (was this the same guy reclaiming his botnet, or is this months[old news, I wonder?)
