A drug company, a member of the Insurance Cartel and an H'Wood studio... who 
says that viruses are a bad thing? ;-)

SAN FRANCISCO - Security experts have found a network of 74,000 virus-infected 
computers that stole information from inside corporations and government 
agencies. The unusual thing about the incident is not that it happened but that 
it was discovered, and it is a reminder of the dangers of having computers with 
sensitive data connected to the open Internet.



More than 2,400 organizations, including financial institutions and energy 
companies and federal agencies, were infiltrated by the "botnet," according to 
the NetWitness Corp. security firm, which discovered it.
