So now instead of hijacking one plane to destroy one target on the ground, they'll be trying to compromise this system to remotely hijack hundereds or thousands of planes from the comfort of their living room. That's a scary thought. Fortunately, I doubt many fellow slashdotters will argue that IT security pros are far more adept than TSA at preventing attacks on their respective 'networks'... This will be interesting.
...if your computer gets infected with a SpamBot, are you guilty of 'making available' all the nasty (and possibly illegal) things that your zombie-PC is spewing across the interwebs?
Kinda makes you think.
Between this, and people being held liable for the actions of their neighbors using their open wi-fi networks, it makes me scared to think what will come next...
Gotta love WGA. My computer tells me that I 'am a victim of software piracy'.
If I'm the victim, then what does that make Microsoft?? Funny, I didn't realize I was being victimized.
I guess it would sound funny if it popped up saying 'You may be benefiting from software piracy.'
