Malware mastermind arrested in Armenia
INSPECTOR de Knacker of the Dutch Yard has swooped on a computer virus crime group and cornered the bloke it thinks was running it in Armenia.
Dutch coppers had closed a server network connected to the group on Monday. According to AFP, a 27-year-old Armenian believed to be the brains behind the notorious Bredolab network was arrested at the Yerevan international airport last night, at the request of the Dutch prosecution service.
The prosecution service said in a statement in The Hague that the network has used computer servers in the Netherlands to infect at least 30 million computers worldwide with a virus that allows others to obtain information like bank passwords from infected computers.
The network could infect three million computers a month and was sending an estimated 3.6 billion virus e-mails to users daily by the end of 2009.
More than 143 computer servers which made up the backbone of the network were disconnected in the Netherlands on Monday, the prosecution service said.
The Netherlands has no extradition agreement with Armenia and Dutch authorities are looking at the possibility of the suspect being put on trial there. µ

I should thank him for all the work he's provided over the years for me, cleaning up his crap, but I won't.
More like, give him 30 or so human viruses and just let him die from them, in a cold lonely cell. With a Dr walking by every day offering to help him for $30 and never doing anything.
Just do the execution on him. Quick one in the head. nuff said.
