UK Officially The Most Hacked Country

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the take-pride-in-your-position dept.

_Hellfire_ writes "Symantec's Internet Security Threat Report for the second half of 2004 says that the UK is leading the rest of the world with bot networks. The report states that "...25.2% [of bots] are located in the UK. That now puts the country ahead of the US (24.6%), China (7.8%), Canada (4.9%) and Spain (3.8%)". Symantec blames a sudden uptake of residential broadband connections without the awareness of the required security measures."

    The United Kingdom is going to have to make huge sacrifices in order the destroy the hacker problem. I believe first and foremost the UK must ban Lumnix, the OS of choice of hackers and other sexually malformed subversives. They must declare war on Israel as well, for Israel is the hacker capital of the world. Godspeed, Britain, and nuke those Zionist hacker cults back to Africa!

    No, it tatstes like shit everywhere. London, Dublin, New York, doesn't matter - Guinnes is truly disgusting worldwide.
