BitTorrent Hit By Hacker Malware [bbc.co.uk]

File-sharing site BitTorrent has warned users that any downloads taken from its site during a two-hour period overnight may contain malware.

It revealed that hackers had injected scareware into its download software.

When installed, the program pops up fake warnings that a virus has been detected and prompts users for payment to remove it.
