INTERNATIONAL INVESTIGATION OVER A MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR CYBER CRIME RING

New Zealand police are working with the FBI in an international investigation over a multi-million dollar Cyber crime ring. An 18 year old New Zealander was supposedly involved. He was questioned by the police in November.

He was suspected of being "AKIII" ringleader of a "botnet" and has infected a million computers with a virus-that resulted in a 26 million-plus loss. The attack included the University of Pennsylvania.
