Looks like the botnet was mining on the two largest pools.

Unfortunately, expected payout here is about 1/4 of energy cost with a machine from less than 5 years ago.

Buying XMR from exchanges with the money it would cost me to mine would result in me having 4 times as much XMR in the future at that value, so it’s still not a viable proposition
