so would someone explain this to me then?

is it possible/likely that one person purchased several Avalons or multiple folks are working together in a pool specifically to cheat the system?

how about the supposed BFL's? would they be detectable if they brought all their miners online to stage such an attack?

I'm worried of another theoretical possibility: what if mining rigs became infected with some type of worm/virus etc. which may turn the machine into remotely controlled "zombie"? This way the attacker (or group of attackers) could build their own mining botnet which would turn rogue at certain point and success with performing 51% attack. I know, it's all open source software, thousend times checked, verified etc. but as the current craze goes on, how could we be cetrain that all the miners are purchasing secure mining equipment?
