Damn, these hackers are brazen.

I thought it was kind of rude to waltz into somebody else's system and take it over. Oh, and also illegal with penalties that are frightening in many countries.

Isn't anybody prosecuting, or at a minimum letting folks know when they've backtraced through all the compromised hosts they're hopping through that they're on to them?

Also interesting to note the number of hackers in Poland (well, it says you can't tell the nationality, so Polish machines I guess.)
