  • Abstract
    It is a fact that any computer or device connected to the Internet can potentially be infected by malicious software. This paper investigates this risk further, and makes the basic statement that any Internet connected computer in a country should be seen as part of that country´s critical information infrastructure protection program because such a computer can be herded into a botnet and used against that country.
