How one could get into the VM business without KNOWING idiots would happily pay for and utilize VMs on big bandwidth to do stupid human tricks, and take appropriate precautions NOT to become part of the problem… is beyond me.
Easy.
1. Most of these bots are probably zombie infections, using resources paid for by someone else.
2. These bots use CPU, memory, and bandwidth, which is how these providers make their money. The more you use, the more money they make. Wondering why they don't take measures to stop it is like wondering why Exxon hasn't started building Tesla Supercharger stations everywhere.
