Storm Worm Evolves To Use Tor
An anonymous reader writes "Seems like the Storm botnet that was behind the last two waves of attacks is also responsible for this new kind of social-engineering based attacks, using spam to try and convince users of the necessity of using Tor for there communications. They 'kindly' provide a link to download a trojaned version of Tor. This blog entry has a link to the original post on or-talk mailing list which has some samples of the messages."
And your the 15th person to report this.
Am I the only one that's annoyed by the Crusade Too Stop Bad Speelers and Jihad Too Correct There Misused Words?
Seriously... No one cares outside of High School. Most of the world isn't natural English speakers, and most people have more to do with they're life then give a shit about "oh my god I misused their/there/they're"
And who made it all possible? Clueless morons who can't keep their computer updated and click everything sent to them. But of course, you can't do a thing against them. After all, they're who make everyone happy. ISPs, because they pay without using bandwidth. "Service" providers, because they pay for crap they could get easily for free. And of course various other companies who sell crap through the net. And hey, they even give me absolute job security, because for as long as those idiots litter the net, I will have a job trying to create a defense against the flood of malware their botted machines spew out.
Well, now they enabled the criminal elements to hold companies, countries and whole regions hostage.
So, now mod me flamebait and let's go on with our lives as long as we can. Sorry for the rant, but I'm really getting fed up. For every crappy thing in life you need some license, some test, some qualification, or at least you're liable if you turn out to be too stupid to operate it safely. But on the 'net...
Ok, ok, I stop the rambling. I think I'll just go out and check if the sky's still blue. Haven't seen it since the advent of MPack.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
