Botnets: Hi-tech crime in the UK



More than one million households in the UK are believed to be harbouring criminals inside their family PC.

A large-scale global study suggests 5-10% of all domestic computers are regularly linked to criminal networks called botnets.

Hijacked PCs could be sending spam, attacking websites or surrendering bank details to criminals.
