[From BBC World News]

Two hackers have been jailed for helping to create a virus that infected thousands of computers worldwide.
Andrew Harvey, 24, of Sherburn Village, Co Durham, was jailed for six months, and Jordan Bradley, 22, of Darlington, was jailed for three months, on Friday.

The men admitted a conspiracy charge in May this year for their part in creating what was called the T-K Worm.

It used internet chat channels to infect other computers which then gave the hackers control of them.
