The latest and most dangerous virus is the "downadup"worm, which was also called "Conficker". The computer security company F-Secure stated that the computer virus has infected 3.5 million computers worldwide. This malicious program was able to spread using a patched Windows flaw. Downadup was so "successful" in spreading across the Web, because it used a flaw that Microsoft patched in October in order to distantly compromise computers that ran unpatched versions of Microsoft's operating system. But the greatest power of the worm is believed to be the ability of computers, infected with the worm, to download destructive code from a random drop point. F-Secure stated that three of the most affected countries were China, Brazil and Russia.
For the purposes of this question, the term "hacking" will be interpreted to refer to accessing a computer system by circumventing its security system.Different entities of the US government have been accusedof hacking - for example Iran accused the US of being behind the Stuxnet worm that attacked the control systems of the centrifuges they are using to produce high purity nuclear materials for their nuclear program. The only publicly confirmed instances are related to legal wiretaps granted by judges pursuant to investigations of known or suspected terrorists and other criminals.
