DailyDot claimed to have an interview with them a few days ago [0], interesting quote:

> “We’ve just got a bunch of people with really particular skill sets, and we’ve been working to get access to some of the core routing equipment of the Internet,” Cleary explained, excitement in his voice. “We’ve got some devices that are connected to the undersea cables that facilitate the Internet connects between the United States and Europe.

Obviously a big if, but if this is accurate they're abusing some of the core infrastructure which would be way beyond a simple botnet.

And I've got some prime real-estate on Mars to sell you. Along with a spaceship that will get you there and back in 2 hours.

Why on earth would you ever believe anything that comes out of their collective mouths? If they had access to core routers - they'd be idiots to ever announce it publicly. The amount of money they could make selling that access on the black market would allow them to retire at whatever idiotic teenage age they're currently at.
