You can take off your tinfoil hat.
The botnet is sophisticated, but despite potentially being active since last year, does not behave like a standard botnet involved in Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks or cryptojacking, and its overall purpose is still a mystery.

At the time of discovery, VirusTotal did not flag up two of the botnet's executables as malicious. However, at the time of writing, 19 antivirus engines now detect one of the files, whereas another is only detected by five engines.
