Police Arrest Suspects In Zeus Trojan Bank Account Thefts [bbc.co.uk]

Nineteen people suspected of stealing millions from online bank accounts have been arrested by police.

Detectives from the Metropolitan Police Central e-Crime Unit raided a string of addresses across London on Monday.

The suspects are alleged to be part of a gang that has stolen at least £6m in the past three months.

Police say that the international plotters used malicious code to capture bank log-in details that were held on personal computers.
