This is a military organization under attack.
Why not just have explanations about social engineering, and have punishments for those who fall for the regular fake social engineering tests?
According to the article, these virii only infect bacteria.
Unless they mutate.
I'm fairly certain that they have controls to prevent that kind of thing.
Plus, phage based medications turned out to not to have a high chance of fatalities.
Skinner: ahh, but as it turns out the lizards where a god send since they've eaten all the pigeons.
Lisa: Isn't that a little short sighted, what happens when where up to our ears with lizards?
Skinner: Ah, well we shall simply release wave after wave of Chinese needles snakes.
Lisa: then what about the snakes?
Skinner: We simply import gorillas who will eat all the snakes.
Lisa: Well what happens when where up to our ears in gorilla's!
Skinner: Ah that's the beauty of the thing, come winter the gorillas will freeze to death.
Except for "First Law", but that was never serious.
But, remember "That Thou art Mindful of Him" The first and second laws can be violated in their intention meaning if you change the definition of "human", as JG models who were designed to evaluate human worth, judged themselves to be superior humans.
You can also change the definition of harm to disrupt the First law. Psychological harm is the most distort able.
Second law can be distorted by changing the definition of an order or obedience.
Third law can be bypassed by changing the definition of harm to it self. Or the definition of self.
Skynet with the Three Laws could decide that by killing everyone now, less people will be killed in the future(6 billion dead by nukes vs ? trillion dead in the future for natural causes/future wars). It could ignore orders on account of the First Law.

Article: That's verging on cheating since attendance is a key requirement for graduation.
Apparently in Japan they need to attend.

On their protocol page, if you scroll down a bit, it says it uses SHA1.

Has been mentioned before.
It uses 4096 bit RSA to sign the binaries.
I don't know any group that could crack that(yes, not even you, FBI/CIA/NSA super computer).
I'ld prefer chain wi-fi hacking.
Have a worm infect and propagate via weak passworded/WEP routers.
Simple.
Implementations can be different from the actual idea/code.
OpenSSL/Debian fiasco RNG mess up, netscape RNG mis-implementation so it only uses the PID, ect.

Conficker means
Configuration(conf) F*cker(ficker).
And yes, the fs are overlapping.
Abrupt server failure.
That is all.
Specialized instinct.
Instinct != Intelligence
And you forgot salmon.
See, that's why you hire ELIZA.
Yes.
After digesting the chewy center.
Language barriers?
Just load the text from a resource file.
All the text.
No work needed on the programmer's end(except making it load the resource file and adding the option to the installer.)
And yet.
They will still get it.
The doctor gives it to the hospital.
The manufacturer embeds a "call home" device.
Which just causes the finder to crash.
$DEITY fries out your hearing.
Happy?
That actually poses a danger.
Conficker has enough PCs to exceed the sheer processing power of one human brain, but there is the issue of the software running.
Of course, based on the brilliance of the makers, they might be able to create an AI singularity.
There is also the question of what the AI's goals are.
Where's the whatcouldgowrong tag?
Seriously, it isn't like that this can't be used for Orwellian substitution/censor-NO CARRIER - CONNECT - DISREGARD THAT I THINK THIS IS A GREAT IDEA
I think you forgot about this:

Never mind, didn't see other
How is parent informative?
It should be funny.
Though it did forget to mention a goatease/2g1c loader. Flashed to the BIOS.
Or nav[ea]l nav[ea]l lint.
This also covers the possibly of naval lint being collected in a Navy drier, and an organism living in navels with navel lint.
But I love shit.
