Can we get a confirmed botnet thread going? This is what I have off the top of my head:
>Windows 7,8,8.1,10
>Chrome
>Android + any android app
>Samsung anything
>Chinese anything
>Amazon hardware
>Linux Mint
>Ubuntu
>Any PC laptop
>uTorrent
>Transmission
>Spotify
>Cisco anything
Apple anything
first you should define botnet, because proprietary software != botnet, and I'm pretty sure you have the two confused

how is ubuntu botnet?

Windows is phoning home since since XP.
>>53575062
>Windows 7
>Linux Mint
I run both of these and I thought I was relatively botnet-free. In what ways are they botnet?

Phoning home doesn't make it a botnet
>>53575062
>Transmission
not a botnet
>Ubuntu
will remove Amazon at the next release
>Mint

GNU/Linux

Windows 7 has an updates that adds WIndows 10 telemetry shit to it. Just uninstall those updates and you are fine.
Mint's website was hacked (caught and fixed in one day) and if you did a direct download on that one day and didn't check the hash then you may have downloaded a hacked iso with a botnet installed in it.
just stop

Mint wasn't even backdoored, the "hacker" simply hacked the website and redirected the ISO download (note; download, not torrent) to a backdoored ISO.
This didn't affect anyone but the people who downloaded the 64-bit ISO (not through torrent) on that specific day, hardly "compromised".
