BBC Links Linux To MyDoom

Posted by simoniker on from the supporting-the-cause dept.

minus_273 writes "It seems the BBC has a story on their front page titled 'Linux cyber-battle turns nasty', very specifically linking Linux users to the MyDoom virus. Some lines to note: 'If anyone's anger has no measure, it is the wrath of internet zealots who believe that code should be free to all (open source). So, it seems likely that the perpetrators of the MyDoom virus and its variants are internet vandals with a specific grudge.'"

    The BBC employ hacks to write dumbed down pseudo-news just the same as all the other news providers do. It's just a shame they sometimes elevate this speculation and filler material to the front page of their website along with the real news.
