ISP TELENOR CRIPPLES ZOMBIE PC NETWORK (boxen using MickySoft).
Authorities in Singapore shut down a large network of around 10,000
robot, or "zombie," computers this week, after technicians at Norwegian
Internet service provider (ISP) Telenor ASA stumbled on the illicit
network by tracing Internet Relay Chat (IRC) communications from
compromised customer PCs on its system.
