Trolls hell.  If you're planning a bank heist, buy some time on a botnet to
false-click on several tens of thousands of innocent cameras that have *something*

between "the alley is empty" and "the alley has something moving).

Consider it a variant on the guy who posted on Craigslist for dozens of people
dressed the same to cover up a real bank heist...

Let's combine the two.  Craigslist ad to generate interesting activity
on cameras C1 and C2 accompanied by apparently-true clicks from the
botnet while the target (on camera C3) is attacked.  I think perhaps
"need movie extras for a motorcycle gang fight" would probably suffice.
