Eastern European pack of cyber thieves hijack 4 Million computers

  When will stealing stop in this world? Has technology advancement increase the rate of stealing?. All these are questions that need answers.

   A Rove group have reportedly hijacked at least four million computers in over 100 countries, including at least half a million computers in the U.S., to make off with $14 million in "illegitimate income" before they were caught, federal officials announced early hours of yesterday (Thursday).
According to a breaking news and investigation alerts from the Brian Ross investigative units monitored last night, it disclosed that the malware allegedly used in the "massive and sophisticated scheme" also managed to infect computers in U.S. government agencies including NASA and targeted the websites for major institutions like iTunes, Netflix and the IRS -- forcing users attempting to get to those sites to different websites entirely, according to a federal indictment unsealed in New York yesterday.
