i hear the numbers are about pretty high. about 70,000 americans globally i think 300,000. in the u.s.? world wide. about 70,000 across the u.s. who have no idea that they have been, for lack of a better description, riding on the coat tails of the protection of the fbi and the fbi has said we ve tried to find you. we ve tried to let you know. we ve tried to send you messages. if you don t help yourself, i m not going to be there after monday. is that how this worked? yeah. typically the average user doesn t know about the settings. they are pretty much given to you by your internet service provider. people don t look there so they don t know what s happening. when they go the www.bankofamerica.com, if they have this malware, it could redirect them somewhere else. the criminals could capture it. that s how it worked before until the fbi took down this group and set up the server that allows, if people are inif he canned with this malware, it will temporarily work.
