Hackers, be not proud
This, according to news reports, thing is supposedly the worst computer virus of the year. It is an item which arrived at my email address a few days ago and I can only say that anybody would open the thing is a testament to human stupidity.
The premise is that the Central Intelligence Agency has caught the recipient browsing pornographic web sites. You are supposed to open this zip file and complete a questionnaire?
And nobody think this might be bogus?
Of course, many people did catch on right away, but too many supposedly bright people put on their Goofy ears and opened the file which released the bug.
People, the CIA is in Langley, Virginia, not Washington. They do not generally monitor porn or Americans. If they want to talk, they will send somebody over.
