Reports are coming in of an important arrest in connection with the
now-infamous Zbot group of trojan malware.


Local news reports from Manchester say that a series of raids have been
carried out in the area with a young man and woman having been arrested
- who are being interviewed by officers with the Metropolitan Police
Central e-Crime Unit <http://www.met.police.uk/pceu>  (PCeU) about
distributing the Zbot trojan.

As reported previously by Infosecurity, the Zbot trojan has become one
of the most virulent trojans in recent months with Sunbelt Software
reporting incidences as 25% up during October compared to the month
before.
