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’.”
