      Why would you try to restart the attack this way rather than releasing a working exploit that doesn't have the killswitch?https://twitter.com/a_greenberg/status/865616240123031553 …

      I mean, I get that the Mirai attack might be different people, but what would motive be, other than to watch the world burn?

          Botnets are cheap enough that it makes sense to try and take out the killswitch while working on a new exploit without one.

          We're actually watching a race between multiple entities to see who can set the world on fire first, aren't we?

          Removing the kill switch might require some coding skill. It's so much easier for a loser script kiddie to run a canned script to blast away

          That's actually one reason I'm asking.

          Hacks come out day after major developments on Russia investigation? The attack started in Russia from incidence maps. Our work or theirs?
