Spanish police arrests for one of world’s biggest botnets

Spanish police have arrested three men responsible for one of the world’s biggest networks of virus-infected computers. All three men are Spanish citizens with no criminal records and limited hacking skills. The ‘Mariposa’ botnet was made up of nearly 13 million computers in 190 countries, including PCs inside more than half of Fortune 1000 companies and more than 40 major banks.
