What the Yahoo malware was used for

I think this is the funniest headline of the year so far by far.

Yahoo malware turned European computers into bitcoin slaves

Search firm remains silent on how its ad servers infected thousands of European computers and turned many into bitcoin miners

I still get error messages on my iPhone mail, "yahoo mail servers cannot be reached", it then proceeds to load my email, EVERY FUCKING TIME. You'd think after 20 years they'd have this email thing worked out.

That is brilliant. Bet it was someone who works in their ads department.

Wonder how much they made, if anything.

I'm thinking they are now fiiiilthy rich.

Yeah i wonder how much they made. The article talks about how a lot of botnets are leveraging their hijacked processing power to produce bitcoin. It's an odd world.
