Can you direct me toward a singluar entity of 1MM bots controlled by a single master?
Well, it was a while ago that some Polish guys were openly advertising their 465K zombie network - I'd be most surprised if it isn't over 1M by now. And remember that hierarchical design is understood in the black hat world too. If somebody has 1M bots, it won't be 1M bots in one network, it will be several hundred subnets of several thousand bots, and some automated way to signal several hundred control nodes to each fire up their several thousand bots. So you may already have whacked off a 1% chunk of that 1M net several times already and not even realized it....
