Best Answer

Exploiting computers with botnets is a federal crime because you are exploiting computers across state borders, which means the FBI gets involved. I don't know for sure, but it's a federal offense.

Of course, the above answer applies to U.S. borders; there are no specific universal laws that apply to other countries.
