More scary news about botnets...


Think your virus scanner is protecting you? Maybe not.


In other news:
The Storm worm botnet has grown so massive and far-reaching that it easily overpowers the world's top supercomputers. Matt Sergeant, chief anti-spam technologist with MessageLabs, recently said in an interview. "If you add up all 500 of the top supercomputers, it blows them all away with just 2 million of its machines. It's very frightening that criminals have access to that much computing power, but there's not much we can do about it."


Oh great.
