97 to 73,000 computers in 2 months

... see zdnet news story in November (http://news.zdnet.co.uk/security/0,1000000189,39539057,00.htm ) where it was stated that 97 computers had been accessed.

Two months later ZDNET report it is 73,000 computers.... ???

Who is inflating the figures here?

I think there should be some accountability for reporting the facts and checking the facts here? a persons life is at stake and it really IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH to simply disengage the brain when writing stories.

Even if the US government is fabricating and exagerating the facts, it is NO EXCUSE for reporters/news sites to become part of the propaganda machine and publish rubish.

CAN SOMEONE GET AND PUBLISH THE FACTS!
