GhostNet is a wakeup call to switch to Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| It's compromised over 1,000 machines in 103 countries, with targets including
| the Dalai Lama and government departments. It's called GhostNet, it's a spy
| network, and it wouldn't exist if government departments and other public
| bodies used Linux.
|
| The scale of GhostNet is staggering, but at heart it's no more complicated
| than a script kiddie attack.

But I didn't get your e-mail!

| The e-mail system of the Indian Prime Ministers Office was crippled by a
| virus that devoured nearly all of its incoming mail for three months last
| year, according to a recent report in the Times of India.
|
| Apparently the virus affected the PMO's Microsoft Outlook Express program,
| and consequently the office received almost none of the e-mail it was sent
| from February to April. Which, really, is the kind of thing you think someone
| would have noticed, because presumably the PMO usually gets a fair bit of
| e-mail, here in the worlds biggest democracy.
