A group of researchers at the International Computer Science Institute in San Diego set out to identify how much money could enter a spammer a day, for which left eight computers were infected by a virus that convetÃa members of a botnet, but modified the software to send messages that infected machines directed to a site that they had assembled for that purpose.
This site, similar in all respects to one of those that sell drugs over the Internet, let those concerned carry out all steps of the purchase but in the end was a mistake. Counting
visits received, they concluded that the income of a spammer who uses this software
corresponding to the formula G = E × M × D × F × V × B × P
In what : G = Gross
day, which would have to deduct the costs incurred in those who manage the network of infected computers.
E = Number of spam that each infected computer sent each day (1.7 million).
M = number of infected computers in the botnet (about 500, a very modest figure.)
D = Percentage of messages delivered (23.8 percent).
F = Number of messages delivered to survive the spam filter provider (very variable between different suppliers).
V = number of users receiving the message and visit the site. F depends, obviously, but according to data from F × V is approximately 0.0127 percent.
B = Percentage of those who choose to buy from those who follow the link, a 0.266 percent.
P = average purchase price, $ 100.
Does the value of G? $ 7,000 per day, change current slightly less than 5,400 euros ... And all this without lifting a finger almost, and very low costs
With these numbers someone tell me how to be spammer plis, thanks.
