Evil Cyber Empire only possible because of Microsoft
,----[ Quote ]
| Barry tweeted a Newsweek article titled The
| Evil (Cyber) Empire - Inside the world of
| Russian hackers. What the article doesn't
| mention (possibly because Microsoft is a
| Newsweek advertiser) is that what holds the
| 'Russian Business Network' together is a vast
| botnet consisting of millions of compromised
| computers running the Microsoft Windows
| Operating System.
|
| That's right. Windows. Not OSX. Not Linux.
| Only Windows.
