Cyber Spies Make Dumb Mistakes Too!

You can write great malware like Flame or Stuxnet but you're still human and gonna slip up sometimes.

Americans, it's time to protect your computers

Apparently Americans don't know how to protect their computers. Either that or they're ignorant of the risks. Don't believe me? Look at the numbers.

If you leave your machine wide open, bad guys will abuse it. They install malware, viruses, and worse on your machine. Your computer will be part of their botnet. Evil things will happen on your computer without your knowledge.

Stop it.

Stuxnet, Duqu, now Flame

If you're anything like me news of Stuxnet and Duqu sent shivers up your spine. These two pieces of malware can only be called "cyber weapons". Sophisticated cyber weapons.

Now comes news of Flame, which a.) is centered in the Middle East especially Iran and b.) appears to be the work of the Stuxnet/Duqu crowd. Here are some of the first reports: #1   #2   #3

This is not good news. Life will never be the same again.
