"Despite the efforts taken by hackers measures to protect the botnet control servers, knowing the protocol of communication TDL-4 with a management server, you can create custom queries and get statistics on the number of infected computers. Analysis of the data held by us, has identified three separate databases MySQL, located in Moldova, Lithuania and the United States and supporting the work of a botnet for proxy servers."
"Nearly one-third of infected computers located throughout the United States. Judging by the price of affiliate programs, contamination that number of machines in the U.S. costs 250 000 USD, which, apparently, and forked the creators of TDSS. It is noteworthy that the Russian people are not in statistics. The reason is that affiliate programs do not offer payment for Russian users contamination"

Perhaps develops a specific OS just tobe a wallet is good too to prevent further future attack.
Closed source would be nice this time
If the "Hero" title guys at bitcoin networks gives up as well.
Then God Help Us
