Security experts say malicious hackers have taken over almost two million PCs globally, including machines inside UK and US government departments, BBC News reported.Finjan Security said it traced the giant network of remotely controlled PCs, known as a botnet, back to a gang of cyber criminals in the Ukraine, adding that several PCs inside six UK government bodies were compromised by the botnet.The Cabinet Office, which is charged with setting standards for the use of information technology across government, said it would not comment on specific attacks due to security reasons, according to the spokesman.The spokesman said it was government policy to neither confirm nor deny if an individual organization had suffered an attack.
