The algorithm finds the source by only checking a small percentage of the connections in a network, said Pedro Pinto, postdoctoral researcher at the Audiovisual Communications Laboratory of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) on Monday. http://www.pcworld.com/businesscent...t_the_source_of_malware_and_spam_attacks.html
