• Article was created on 19 January, and the article text is 295 words (1960 bytes), satisfying the creation and length criteria. All citations have been verified; note that two indicate different incidence data for the botnet (one says 5.5% in Q3 2012, the other 6.8% for all 2012), but use of one over the other is OK as the period in question is identified. User has satisfied QPQ requirements. GTG. Mindmatrix 19:51, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
