Comodo Security Architect Applauds BBC's Questionable Botnet Tactic
March 19, 2009 |

Jersey City, NJ, March 19, 2009 - "Well done, BBC!" crowed Melih
Abdulhayoglu, about the British broadcasting network's permitting its program,
Click,
to demonstrate how susceptible computers on the Internet are to malicious
software.
While others criticize the computing show's decision to hire a live botnet to
show how easily computers could be hijacked, Abdulhayoglu cheered it.
Programmers paid by the BBC wrote software instructing 22,000 PCs that had been
infected with malware to send emails without their owners' awareness.
"This is a good use of taxpayer money," said Abdulhayoglu. Abdulhayoglu is CEO
and Chief Security Architect of Comodo, a leader in Internet security products.
He noted that the publicly-funded BBC had informed its viewers about the
potential dangers of the Internet.
Abdulhayoglu's remarks are available as a video on
