Worrying news - it seems that at least a quarter of all Internet connected computers could be used by cybercrims in massive botnets - those suffering such as affliction should seek help as soon as possible. No. It's no laughing matter, as such 'possessed computers' - known as 'zombies' are operating without their owners' knowledge or consent, being used for spam, denial of service attacks, spam, online fraud activities, and did I mention ... spam.
The article, posted today on the BBC News website, also claims that pirated copies of Vista are only adding to the problem, with around half infected with Trojans. Where will it all end? How can we stop from being attacked like this? I think we should be trolled...
