Hats off to the Dutch police for showing their British counterparts that The Netherlands isn't all pornography and pot.
A few years ago the police were talking in hushed tomes about people with hundreds of computers set up as botnets. Now I wouldn't be surprised if some grotty little virus writer has broken the million mark.
There's going to be a lot of talk about how evil these people are but that misses the point. Without unsecured computers botnets wouldn't exist - malware would bounce off firewalls like Mr Blobby taking a high dive.
