Real Spy Ware

Cyber-Spy Network Is Uncovered - WSJ.com: "Security researchers said they have discovered software capable of stealing information installed on computers in 103 countries, an apparently coordinated cyberattack that targeted the office of the Dalai Lama and government agencies around the world.

The software infected more than 1,200 computers in all, almost 30% of which are considered high-value targets, according to a report published Sunday by Information Warfare Monitor, a Toronto-based organization. Among the affected computers were those in embassies belonging to Germany, India, Romania, and Thailand, and in the ministries of foreign affairs for Barbados, Iran and Latvia..."

Gee, I wonder who could be behind this? Think false-flag before hopping over that conclusion.

i'll bet they found a lot of porn on the embassy computers. drunk driving, no parking tickets and kiddie porn; the perks of diplomatic immunity.

Oh, you know they did. I read somewhere that a huge percentage of porn was downloaded in Middle Eastern counties and then of that percentage another huge number was coming from embassies.
