By Nate Raymond NEW YORK (Reuters) – A Latvian man pleaded guilty on Friday to engaging in a scheme to transmit a computer virus that infected more than a million computers worldwide and caused tens of millions of dollars in losses. Deniss Calovskis, 30, pleaded guilty in federal court in Manhattan to conspiring to commit computer intrusion, admitting that he had been hired to write some of the computer code that made the so-called Gozi virus so effective. The plea followed Calovskis' extradition in February from Latvia, where he was arrested in November 2012 and held for 10 months in jail.
