Description:: As expected, the launch of iPhone is being exploited by cyber-crooks for financial gain. A tool was just found that controls a botnet made up of over 7,500 zombie computers infected by the Aifone.A bot Trojan. If the user of an infected PC tries to buy an iPhone online, their confidential data might end up in the hands of cyber-criminals.

Not if you've got a Mac.

Seriously, this is old news. If you buy anything online with a Windows PC, you're risking your identity.
