Indeed, we seem to have no shortage of botnets to fight that we can find on our own via malware & traffic analysis.

But now I'm curious about prosecution. I would imagine that a money trail and a "buyer" would help prosecution efforts? Even after word was out that there were undercover buyers out there, would that provide some nice chilling effect?
