Found this today...

Quoted from http://news.com.com/Zombie+PCs+being+sent+...ml?tag=nefd.top

Article is titled 'Zombie PCs being sent to steal IDs', and in the middle of the article I found this paragraph:

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.

Hmm....

I don't know if I should laugh, sigh or get frustrated at that...

Good one. :)

Any bets on how widespread the mass hysteria will be? And to think all it would take to contain this is someone taking the time to explain away this silly statement.
