U.K. Says Botnets Good Sign
An anonymous reader writes "A UK government official has claimed that botnet infections should be celebrated, as they prove that Britain is a prosperous place with high broadband take-up. Is this an interesting new spin on hacking attacks, or sheer madness?" From the article: "The suggestion that botnet infections have their positive side sparked some surprise within the audience. One attendee pointed out that he 'wouldn't want the value of being number one in infections to be extended to bird flu'."

Politician says something moronic about the internet... I'm shocked and horrified.
saying that herpes is good thing, because at least you're getting some ass!
Thanks to Bill & Company for creating new metrics to measure civilization's progress.
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!
Damn, weird reaction, maybe one day we'll see Mac OS XII computers get infected with lots of viruses and Apple will be just glad "Now we're so big that we can directly compete on the attacks and virus with Microsoft's Windows"
You just got troll'd!
And all those e-mails coming from Nigeria. They must have a really highly developed IT infrastructure.
Said governemnt official has apparently been replaced by a short shell script...
...in bird flu"? Why, it shows you are a hub for both migratory birds and a popular tourist destination for those from the Far East.
Next up, how malaria shows you have abundant surface water.
Sorry, evolution will be banned in America, we'd have to be "Intelligently Redesigned".
Please, for the good of Humanity, vote Obama.
It means you're getting laid...
Whoohoo!!!
Saying anal sex is good because it works on both sexes is like saying Java is good because it works on all OSs.
You're both fucking noobs and should stop whining about which is best, hard or soft, and do both client-based, standalone soft as well as two standalone hard (on the router and a standalone). Remeber to use both NIPS and HIPS and do both of those both locally and seperated as well. Don't kid yourselves about Linux in any form, use at least one OpenBSD-based firewall box between outside and inside. Have a seperate box for the mailscanner and one for extrenal virus checking in addition to having those on the client as well. Have three honeytrap machines with different levels of flaws. Have three hundred zombies that automagically DDoS any IP all the other systems cough up as deviant in their logs.
:)
Use at least four different operating systems in the setup (not including honeypots, zombies, and the client).
All the machines except the honeypots, zombies, and the client should run purely on read-only media and RAM. The honeypots should be imaged.
Now everything the client does that is local it gets from a set of servers on a network on a different NIC. Those servers are of course behind the same kind of setup one level deeper ("behind" the client).
That's how you run a secure Windows machine noobs! \^/1nD023 r0>oR5!
