Imagine the case of the botnets that Microsoft says they have ended, they were the same programs initiated and running constantly for many years before people even found them and found ways of disabling them. They were running all the time and nobody raised a finger to get them off-line because, they were driving the IT security industry to some extent. That is paradoxical for the IT security industry is alive because of these threats. Old ones revived with new routines and made to do more mischief, stealing information, credit card numbers and more. The cyber-world may be more secure but as long as people are at the helm, there will be holes and these holes will be seen and used for profit, sometimes by the people entasked with providing security themselves.
