China displaces Britain as botnet epicentre

The Register: "China has displaced Britain as the home of the greatest concentration of compromised (zombie) PCs.

The world's most populous country accounted for 26 per cent of the world's bot-infected computers, a higher density than any other country. Beijing was the city with the most bot-infected computers in the world, accounting for just over five per cent of the worldwide total, according to the latest edition of security firm Symantec's twice-yearly Internet Security Threat Report."
