Mark Ward: Crime time for Chinese net users

From the BBC:

Around 20% of the world’s hijacked computers sending out spam, attacking websites and hosting unsavoury material are in China, says a report…

China already has the second biggest net-using population in the world, even though only 8% of its people go online… But China is not just keeping up on ordinary net use and users, it is also setting the pace on computer crime too.

The Ciphertrust report is here.
