How common are zombie home PCs?
I just read a note from someone who's been tracking the Internet addresses of the machines that are sending him spam. There have been 1.5 million different addresses this year, with 30,000 new ones appearing every week.
There must be millions of home PCs that are now "owned" by criminals and not by the people who paid for them.
