In case you were interested... I downloaded a pdf of the report to the FBI... I am not going to make it public because it has my personal info in it but here is the report part...
Quote:
I am reporting a suspected international crime ring that is installing trojans on millions of pcs... The trojan
was initially identified by a Security Analyst at the University of Minnesota

I have identified an install point... Here is the url to the alexa stats for this site.

I operate many softcore adult websites for a company based in Denmark in addition to being employed full
time as a programmer for an internet based adult service provider.
Recently it came to my attention that there was a rash of trojans being installed for the purpose of stealing
affiliate sales and spoofing websites by altering the victim pc to use the criminals dns servers. This is a
huge security risk for the victim and given the amount of traffic that the single install point that I identified
receives, I view it as a potentially serious national security issue as I believe the person behind this to be
Emil Kacpersky who I think owns Estdomains.com, InHosters.com and Intercage.com among other
companies. (I may be mistaken as I am no investigator). I have learned that these companies are believed
to be based in the Ukraine.
I don't really have any more information then that but this concerns me because I understand the amount
of money that these criminals are making from this endeavor is staggering and that millions of pcs may be
infected.
