“The German authorities say they arrested two people following an investigation into malware that generated the virtual currency by infecting its victims’ PCs.  Xinhua reports three people have been detained in China after a trading platform was shut without warning, cutting off investors from their funds.  The cases do not appear to be related.  The German Federal Criminal Police Office say one of its suspects was arrested in the southern state of Bavaria and the other in the northern region of Lower Saxony.  It accuses them of being behind a botnet that allowed its operators to secretly use other people’s computers to carry out ‘Bitcoin mining’.”
