Good news or bad news first? Let?s lead with the good: The world?s third-largest botnet was taken down this week and the infamous Dave and Buster?s hacker who stole details on 240,000 credit cards will sit behind bars for 7 years. And the bad news: A new malware is sweeping the Middle East and its name is Mahdi. Anonymous claimed to have breached several oil companies and leaked 1,000 email addresses and passwords, but Salvador Grec?s skeptical analysis is probably onto something. ?Anonymous also DDoSed the website of the Syrian Electronic Army, though the latter claims it?s not true. Team GhostShell breached the employment web site IT Wall Street and leaked 50,000 account details to show its affinity for the Occupy Wall Street movement. ?2.4 million Canadian voters are worrying after 2 USB sticks containing their personal information were lost this week. And in this week?s bizarre file an employee of an Australian ISP admitted to deleting company files and emails and threatening to literally axe his boss during a workplace blow-up. Talk about a tough day at the office.
