What benefit does a hacker have from such a bot? The bot doesn’t open them your bank account nor provides any personal data someone could make profit with … do they build such things just for the fun to annoy people?

Probably related to this issue. There seems to be a broader problem with the back-end servers going on right now. The menus are displaying, but browsing texts is not working for all but a few documents.
