[Full-disclosure] BBC cybercrime probe backfires

[Larry Seltzer]

>> They keep saying that the BBC "hacked" 22,000 computers, when in
reality
the original articles said the BBC "acquired" or "hijacked" the botnet.
Strawman for the win?

If they paid for access to the botnet then there's no real moral
difference.
