Article I read bits n pieces of in the newspaper, figured I'd post up here.

Be sure your computer is updated to it's fullest extent, and scanned/checked regularly.

Cheers!

Scary, guess I don't know many things behind the computer screen

Nothing a reformat can't fix. Hell everyone should do that a least every couple of years.

I highly doubt the legitimacy of this article as there is really no way to enforce it. Plus I would see this as a violation of privacy.

So hackers infected potentially UP TO 570,000 computers throughout the world. In the United States, maybe around 85,000 were affected.

So doing some math, assuming 6 billion people in the world, each with a computer, there's 0.0095% chance you've been affected. For Americans, that increases to only 0.0273%. Thanks, but no thanks. This isn't big news to worry about.

Anonymous pissed off more people with hacking Sony and taking down PSN than these hackers.
