Two UK men were arrested this morning following police raids in the UK and US aimed at dismantling an international hacker group believed to have created a virulent computer worm.
Officers from the Durham Constabulary arrested a 19 year-old electrician and a 21 year-old unemployed man after seizing evidence related to computer and drugs offences during a raid on two addresses in County Durham this morning.
The pair are being interviewed today by officers of the UK's National Hi-Tech Crime Unit (NHTCU).
Police believe the two UK based men are members of an international hacking group calling themselves the "THr34t-Krew".
The group has created an Internet worm, called the TK worm, which infected approximately 18,000 computers around the world, according to a statement by the NHTCU.
