FBI vs The Zombie Hordes


The title of this article on the BBC Website showed lots of promise:


FBI tries to fight zombie hordes

The sad reality, however was less interesting:


The FBI is contacting more than one million PC owners who have had their computers hijacked by cyber criminals.

The initiative is part of an ongoing project to thwart the use of hijacked home computers, or zombies, as launch platforms for hi-tech crimes.

The FBI has found networks of zombie computers being used to spread spam, steal IDs and attack websites.

The agency said the zombies or bots were "a growing threat to national security".


It would have been much better if it had read something like this:


The FBI is contacting more than one million people who's friends and relatives have turned into flesh eating zombies.

The initiative is part of an ongoing project to thwart the hideous plans of the flesh eating zombies to munch their way through the world's population.

The FBI has found networks of rotting zombies being used to spread zombieism by chomping passers by.

The agency said the zombies "a growing threat to national security".
