Three suspects in a Dutch crime ring hacked 1.5 million computers worldwide, infecting them with a worm to create a "zombie" network of infected computers that stole passwords and credit card data, according to prosecutors. The suspects are also accused of stealing PayPal and EBay information, and blackmailing a U.S. company by threatening it with a denial-of-service attack. Prosecutors expect more arrests as the investigation continues.
