Police start notifying botnet victims
,----[ Quote ]
| Police in the Netherlands claim a world's first in warning victims whose
| computers were infected by a botnet that was shut down last week. The victims
| will be forwarded to a special Web page offering instructions on cleaning up
| their systems.
|
| The high-tech crime unit of the police started issuing the warnings on
| Wednesday. Users with infected systems are automatically sent a special page
| when they log onto the Internet.

Indictments Against Largest ID Theft Ring Ever
,----[ Quote ]
| It was really big news yesterday, but I don't think it's that much of a big
| deal. These crimes are still easy to commit and it's still too hard to catch
| the criminals. Catching one gang, even a large one, isn't going to make us
| any safer.
