I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

Quote:According to the FBI, the number of computers that probably are infected is more than 277,000 worldwide, down from about 360,000 in April. About 64,000 still-infected computers are probably in the United States.

Quote: It's been impossible to go online or turn on a TV Monday without seeing all the breathless chatter about the "Doomsday" for the Internet, when hundreds of thousands of people were expected to abruptly lose their connection to the world's computer brain. But what caused the "Malware Monday" panic, and is it really warranted? Here's a quick-and-dirty guide to what's going on: In November, the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation charged seven people in connection with a "massive and sophisticated Internet fraud scheme" called Operation Ghost Click. That scam tampered with the way computers access the Web by sending Internet traffic to websites that people didn't intend to visit. The group made money -- $14 million, according to the FBI -- off of fraudulent advertisements on those websites. The FBI eventually shut down the computers that were used to reroute Internet traffic. That move would have essentially cut access to the Internet for those people who had the DNSChanger malware on their systems. So, as a backup, the FBI turned on its own computers to make sure infected machines still would have Internet access. On Monday, the FBI turned off those backup computer servers. That means machines infected with the DNSChanger malware -- or that have traces of that malicious computer program left on their computers -- no longer can access the Internet as expected. About 211,000 machines -- only 42,000 of them in the United States -- were infected Monday, according to CNNMoney. Maybe that sounds like a lot. But, at its peak, 4 million computers were "hijacked" by the malware, according to the FBI. That's 19 times the number of computers currently infected. "That's a large number, but it's a very small subset of the 1.6 billion PCs worldwide, of which an estimated 339 million are in the United States," CNNMoney writes. Education campaigns are thought to have accounted for the difference. Google, Facebook and the U.S. government have created tools to help people notice if their machines have the DNSChanger malware.More at

Quote:Originally posted by ANTHONYT: Anyway, the U.S. arranged for defective technology to get into Soviet hands. I want to say that the technology in question had something to do with computers that control oil flow, but my swiss cheese memory could be mistaken on particulars. Ah... here we go: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siberian_pipeline_sabotage So your musings about the U.S. possibly being responsible for things like Chernobyl isn't just crazy talk.

Quote:During the fall of 1981, one of my National Security Council associates, Dr. Gus Weiss, was cleared to read the material. He devised a remarkable plan: "Why not help the Soviets with their shopping? Now that we know what they want, we can help them get it." There would be just one catch: The CIA would add "extra ingredients" to the software and hardware on the KGB's shopping list. Weiss presented the plan to Casey in December 1981, and Casey took it to the President in January 1982. Notably absent from the meeting were any of the White House's strong believers in détente. Reagan received the plan enthusiastically; Casey was given a "go." There were no written memoranda reflecting that meeting, or for that matter, the whole project, for many in the intelligence community were concerned about the security of the new, computerized, internal NSC communication system. Within a few months, the shipments began. The Weiss project targeted the Soviet military/industrial needs as set forth in the Farewell dossier. "Improved" — that is to say, erratic — computer chips were designed to pass quality-acceptance tests before entry into Soviet service. Only later would they sporadically fail, frazzling the nerves of harried users. Pseudosoftware disrupted factory output. Flawed but convincing ideas on stealth, attack aircraft and space defense made their way into Soviet ministries.
