NHS hospitals struggle to hold back the malware tide
,----[ Quote ]
| Malware infection problems at NHS hospitals are a more serious problem than
| isolated reports of infestation might suggest, according to an investigation
| by More4 News.
|
| Last November an infection by the MyTob worm created huge administrative
| headaches at three London hospitals - Barts, the Royal London and the London
| Chest Hospital - that are part of the same NHS Trust. The infection forced
| the hospitals to briefly reroute ambulances and disrupted hospital
| administration while the infection was being contained. Some medical staff
| had to resort to pen and paper backup systems.

Hijacked Twitter accounts spread Koobface worm
,----[ Quote ]
| The Koobface worm, which previously infected users of Facebook and MySpace,
| is spreading among users of micro-blogging website Twitter.
|
| The scale of the attack is unclear but serious enough for Twitter to issue a
| warning on Friday morning, via the service's status page. Koobface-related
| activity has been detected on Twitter before, but the latest assault has
| provoked a more concerted response from the micro-blogging service, including
| plans to temporarily suspend compromised accounts.
