13 million computers have been infected so far and three of the supposed hackers are Spanish.
There's nothing worse then finding out that someone you don't know has had access to your personal belongings. If someone breaks into my car for example, I can't help but feel a little violated. One thing I hate about the Internet is the fact there are some users out there who are able to gain access to your private account. You don't believe me, take the recent Mariposa bot for instance, a hacking process which managed to infect 13 million computers all over the globe. The way this "zombie" works is an individuals computer is taken over and is then used in a hacking format in order to send out spam. The cowards involved in the incident got their hands on the financial details of users from 190 different countries. What's more is that three Spaniards have been accused of being involved. So far they have been named as 31 year old "Netkairo" 25 year old J.B.R and 30 year old J.P.R. Searches have been carried out on their homes and the personal information of over 800 000 users was found.
If this has you worried, then here's a little advice. The experts advise users to ensure that they have all the latest updates of security software on their computers and just to be safe, make sure that you have two partitions on your hard disk. Now the question is what will become of the three individuals with the flashy names, who have been accused of these crimes?
