    It’s terabits, not gigabits :)

    Symmetrical connections are not that common so pulling this much upload from infected machines seems impressive.

      Yeah. In developped countries you can expect at least 400Mbps thanks to fiber connections

        That’s still 2.5k fully saturated 400mbps connections. As far as I know this kind of approach wouldn’t work since you’d easily block them - you need craploads of bots all around the world for this to not be defeated by a smart firewall.

          Often a multitude of high bandwidth servers are rented using stolen credit cards.

          (Source: I knew a guy that got busted by the FBI for operating one such services, he bought all the servers with stolen CCs)
