Trojan Built for Industrial Espionage
xPertCodert writes "Some of the largest Israeli companies are involved in the major industral espionage case, in which private investigators implanted specially crafted Trojan horses on the computers at unsuspecting companies in a bid to obtain priviledged financial and technical data. Given the current state of Windows security and advances in spyware, probably any company has become a very easy target for such spy attack from competitors"

Oh, and I almost missed the point!
Yes, Windows sucks!
It is truly pathetic how these, sometimes interesting, articles nearly always descend to the lowest common denominator suitable for mass
Goddamn trolls.
What has the Windows OS have to do with that?
Unless you've got a firewall to detect or block outgoing connections (there are many good firewall utilities for Windows clients, BTW), you'd probably end up the same way with any client infested with spyware or Trojans.
I hold no love for MS, but the OP is right, this is pure MS bashing.

Indeed. I've found B and D to look entirely too similar (that's a D? With that line running through the middle it sure looks like a B) and sometimes c and e are indistinguishable. Then there are times that it gives what are clearly capital letters, but the text needs to be typed in lower case (and how exactly should I know that? I don't see that instruction anywhere).
Right, right, off topic, fine. Trojans are bad. I know that spys need to register themselves with the government. What's the maximum penalty for unregistered spying?
And a double standard apparently also applies for Israelis and Retarded New Zealanders.

I'm halfway towards reporting this side and many of the posters to the Anti Defamation League.
oh my god now i'm really scared!
Yep, I'll feed the f*ckin troll.
/. had "classic" cases of anti semitism. Perhaps "classic" cases of "...in Japan", and "....in Soviet Russia". Maybe we need a "...in the Zionist Homeland....."
...apparently we are not allowed to maintain our national security.
This is yet another classic case of anti-Semitism on Slashdot.
I didn't know that
Keep in mind, economic security is a part of national security.
Ummm, did you RTF? Guess not, you must be one of those excitable types where as if Israel is not looked upon, and remarked of fondly, then it is somehow thinly veiled anti semitism.
I did not know that corporate espionage was a freedom employed by national governments, or a right of soverienty. How riled up do you get when you hear about corporate espionage in the US?
I really must say that I'm sorry the holocaust ever happened; it gives Jews the freedom to take every criticsm as anti semitic. In the future, try not to be such an exclusive group, and maybe you won't draw the ire of others.
Yeah, right! Anti-Semitism... Israel has done something awful, there is proof for it, and talking about it is... Anti-Semitism!
What makes you think that if it was USA, UK or China commiting the same crimes we wouldn't be posting? The only double standar I see with the Jews is exactly that - they immediatly proclaim something anti-Semitic, even if it is true! You are a live proof for my claim...
