Last updated at 15:45pm on 13th March 2008

Cyber-criminals have rigged hundreds of thousands of web pages to hijack
the PCs of unsuspecting surfers and steal their personal details, an
internet security firm warned today. 

The attacks - the biggest of their kind ever mounted online - have all
taken place in the last fortnight and one gang alone has infected nearly
12,000 pages.

Governments, travel and leisure organisations worldwide are among those
whose websites have been infected.
