NEW YORK (January 23, 2013)--Criminal charges have been filed against three people in connection with a computer virus that infected more than a million computers worldwide, federal authorities in New York said Wednesday.

NASA computers were among those infected by what was labeled the "Gozi Virus,” authorities said.

Authorities say they believe the three people who are charged created and distributed the virus, which caused millions of dollars in losses by stealing online banking credentials, among other things.
