A Spanish Computer Virus called Mariposa Botnet
Beware of Spanish botnet (computer virus) called Mariposa botnet. As BBC reports it could compromise your computer and the details inside it. Some major company computers has been affected by it:
All are Spanish citizens with no criminal records and limited hacking skills.
It is estimated that the so-called Mariposa botnet was made up of nearly 13 million computers in 190 countries.
It included PCs inside more than half of Fortune 1000 companies and more than 40 major banks, investigators said.
The criminals have so far only been identified by their internet names, netkairo, aged 31, johnyloleante, aged 30 and ostiator, 25.
Other arrests may follow, the investigators believe.
The first member of the gang was arrested in early February, when he inadvertently logged into the network without disguising the address of his computer.
His computer linked investigators to two more suspects who were arrested later in the month.
