Superman, Where Art Thou?
Two years late I have stumbled on this ongoing unreal Gotham style cyber crime - the Storm Botnet - An ants-nest like hydra made of 100,000 to 50,000,000 infected computers using p2p technology with enough combined power to knock countries off the Internet, involved in a variety of crimes and attacking any institute attempting to investigate it.
For two years security experts and law enforcement agencies have no clue how to handle it or who is behind it.
