Fry on Botnets

Stephen Fry has posted a new "Dork Talk" article. This time it's a lovely and concise description of botnets, and some good general advice about avoiding enslavement, phishing, and similar online perils.
SPOILER ALERT: the last passage is simply hilarious and is quoted below for those too lazy to read the whole article (which I am hoping is nobody).

So they you are. Botnet: not a diaphanous material designed to make the buttocks look more alluring, but rather the very stuff of sci-fi nightmares. And it’s living with us now. Be vigilant, my friends.
