"Some interesting applications of the malicious networks have been
noticed by researchers, Holz said in an interview. In one case, bot
software detected whether the game "Diablo II" was installed on the host
PC. If the game was present, the program would steal items from the
player's characters and drop them at preplanned places in the online
game world. The bot net's controller would then collect the items and
sell them on auction site eBay, Holz said."
