Yeah, Google is where I got the bulk of my info on them. The thing is that
one doesn't have to be a particularly good cracker if they have some dynamite
script that compromises dozens of servers. In other words, if one has a script
that can exploit multiple, common, and rarely patched security holes, then all
they have to do is get in, execute the script and get out. Depending on
connection speeds, bandwidth, number of hops they may or may not be making to
avoid easy tracking, a group could compromise several machines per day.
Basically, this is the new millennium's answer to graffiti on brick walls.
