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."

    American beer sucks period. Pretty much every other country [prolly including Iraq] has better beer.

    If you guys stopped watering it down it'd taste prolly a lot better.
