So, as I understand it, this Phatbot is a complex black-hat tool that's
used to create a "botnet" of hacked computers that can be used for
DDOS, stealing passwords, credit cards, and a plethora of other things?
Has anyone ever found out who wrote it in the first place? I can't
imagine it has any benign use, just curious where things like this come
from.
