This situation makes me sad and really gives a bad opinion about crypto-currencies among public.
In pool where I'm mining a top guy have two weeks ago 50,000kH/s, last week 150,000kH/s, now over 200,000kH/s but highly fluctuating (170-210).
I'm trying, but could not imagine his mining rigs and thinking that this is botnet too.

The whole problem is caused by the fact that scrypt was designed to have good output on CPUs, thus attracting this kind of mining.
It will be probably resolved only after introduction of scrypt ASICs Sad so it will be not profitable run botnet in that network.
It's probably only matter of time, some guys working on them. It was told at first that scrypt will not be very profitable on GPUs compared to CPUs, look at the situation now Smiley
