An international botnet just wiped itself out because the author is clumsy

This software is actually tough to deal with because of how it is

The botnet killed itself and they'd have to re-infect every victim machine again if they were to rebuild the net LOL

I wonder what the monetary cost of that error is. Must be at least 7 figures.
