Met warns Haxdoor victims
Police notify 2,300 their details have been stolen.
London's Metropolitan Police has contacted over 2,300 computer users to inform them that
their details have been found on a server storing data collected by Haxdoor trojans.
Police investigating online theft discovered a vast cache of data stored on the server, and the Met emailed the
UK-based victims to warn them of the risk to their security and privacy. It is thought that many thousands more user
details were retrieved from global sources, but so far only UK victims have been contacted.
F-Secure's Mikko Hypponen brought up the story during his keynote speech
at this year's Virus Bulletin conference in Montr߱al.
