FOXNews.com - FBI Charges Dozens in Global Computer Virus Scam: "A massive international cybercrime scheme that relied on Internet viruses to loot millions of dollars from U.S. and foreign bank accounts has been broken, federal law enforcement officials said.

Federal authorities announced charges Thursday afternoon against 60 people worldwide in connection with the scheme, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said, an expansion on the Tuesday arrest of 19 people in London accused of stealing nearly $10 million from U.K. banks.
