17 Arrested in Canadian Hacking Bust

[Jitway]

Although the hackers operated from about a dozen towns all over Quebec, their botnet network was international in scope, infecting 39,000 computers in Poland, 28,000 in Brazil, and 26,000 in Mexico-- the top three countries affected by the group. In all, they hacked into more than 100,000 computers in 100 countries.

Find it hard to believe they did not list the USA as a target. I know someone got hacked here by that...literally.
