This was an interesting read in the paper today. Thought I would share and see what peoples thoughts were regarding it.

Well.. I'm not surprised by it. And this means they can invade my privacy.

 

But really.. so they'll steal my pr0n and watch me get killed on ET. No big deal to me lol

 

EDIT: I just had a thought... We learn of these things now, but in reality, they may have very well been able to do this years ago.

Don't worry, a virus of this kind isn't written by a lonely teenager in his room but it's written by experienced, damn good, programmers.

 

Everybody knows there are viruses, but most don't know that they should watch out for botnets instead of viruses.

Google it and be surprised!

 

Edit: they indeed were able to do this years ago. Just watch the example of stuxnet...
