What do you think about a system where you just route the some legitimate traffick (from the hijacked devices) as well as the illicit traffick through the bot net. You make it so that any computer doesn't know if the data it received is relayed or original. use methods to make sure all of the data is as similar to yours as possible in size, latency, type, etc.. There is issue with people might be suspicious when their web pages show up in weird languages.

There's a difference between a hacker and a cybercriminal. The speaker should learn the difference.
