Part of his process is the collection of data from computers but it is not the end, it is just a means.

I'm not trying to ask questions that might 'prove' one idea. I'm trying to stay 'general'.

Re: Whats my line?
Recapping.
He may do some programming but he gets most of his computing 'tools' from others.
He is able to put something into every computer that sends him data.
He doesn't work for someone else, but has his own organisation.
bobbym is not sure if he makes money out of this practice.
?? surely this rules out targeted advertising, phishing, etc for we know there is money to be made there.

Re: Whats my line?
Thanks, Stefy. I may need them!
Now, in the UK there is legislation that makes it an crime to possess data when you have no authorisation to have it. So it's a crime just to have it, whatever you subsequently do with it.
May I ask, without cost, whether that's what you meant by YES to illegal. Or is it what is subsequently done with it that makes it illegal?
Charge me a question for all that if you like.

Re: Whats my line?
What he does is illegal in some countries and not in others. Some countries encourage it against their enemies. Also, many people do not feel it is wrong. Also, it is a question of degree, smaller of his type get by unnoticed all the time.

Re: Whats my line?
Generally he will use the persons machine rather than its data. But if asked he will gladly sell that machine and its data to another of his type.

No, the last thing he wants is for anyone not to be on the internet. He wants computers functioning.
