BBC hacks computers!

The BBC hacked into people's PCs to demonstrate how easy it is. They didn't get into ours though!

'Almost 22,000 computers made up Click's network of hijacked machines, which has now been disabled.
Click managed to acquire its own low-value botnet - the name given to a network of hijacked computers - after visiting chatrooms on the internet.
The programme did not access any personal information on the infected PCs. The purpose was to demonstrate botnets' collective power when in the hands of criminals.
Click has now destroyed its botnet, and no longer controls any hijacked machines.
However, the owners of unprotected PCs have been made aware that they are vulnerable to future attacks'.
