Twelve million Zombie Computers From January

Greg Pellegrino, a world leader in the public sector that DTT, told the BBC:

"It moves so quickly and so affected economically and in terms of security and protection of people, we have 100 years of this figure."

"We are with this amendment to protect the Internet to talk about how to succeed and flourish in cyberspace."

Protection rose at a rate never seen before, until the threat environment increases by an amount equal to 40 percent a year. "

"With regard to the extent and severity of incidents of mathematics is not working and we need to come up with an approach that required various public and private sectors work together."

All this comes as President Obama is preparing to release a review in cyber security as his administration has become a priority.


Jeff Green, Senior Vice President of McAfee, said:

"The mass growth of these botnets provides cyber-criminals with the infrastructure they need to flood the network with malware."

"In essence, this is a cyber-crime enablement."

Meanwhile, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu (DTT) says in a letter to the new cyberthreats never grow strong and urgent action is required.

A new report from security company McAfee said in January that about 12 million computers infected by malware and turned into zombita, making them part of botnets, Zombie, and that these figures have risen by 50 percent since passed.

At 18 percent, the U.S. hosts the largest number of machines infected, followed by China with 13 percent.
