Would it matter where the data was heading at the time?
Sure it does. We (supposedly) live in a fair country where everyone has right to due process.
The point is that the user was doing data transmission with her phone when her hands should have been on the wheel.
So she connected to facebook while sitting in her car idling in her driveway waiting for it to "warm up". After a while she put the phone on the passenger's seat (or into her pocket), forgot to disconnect from the network, and drove off. All the while one of the myriads of silly javascripts included in facebook kept on chattering with the facebook server without her knowledge.
Or maybe, she did indeed have a fancy client that was buffering her update while she was sitting in an area with poor reception, and automatically sending the buffered data when reception was better (i.e. seconds before the accident).
Which is why I always close my browser after a banking session.
Which is why I always use a secure OS and a secure browser to do my online banking.
If you use Internet Explorer on Windows, "closing" your browser is not enough. Internet Explorer is part of the OS, and keeps on running in the background even if no window of it is showing.
Hence the suggestion that after using online banking, you close the browser not just log out of the session. Or would this not help with this malware?
This trojan only target windiots, Slashdot users intelligent enough to use Firefox should be safe.
For those who do use Internet Explorer: when you close it, it's not really closed; it's part of the OS after all! In order to really "close" Internet Explorer, you'd need to shut down your computer.

There's quite a difference between carefully moving a laptop, and throwing it...
That's all fine and good, but it's not like someone sitting with a laptop ON THEIR LAP isn't going to shift around or move at all. If it's on a table, fine. But I guarantee that laptops are moved all the time without dire consequences.
However, keeping it ON YOUR LAP can lead to dire consequences. Especially if you are not moving it enough...
It's very practical because I can answer to everybody and point them to http://hoaxbusters.org/ or like (using BCC this time).

I'm missing it as well.
But I've got to disappoint you: nowadays business users are just as clueless with e-mail and everything computer. True geeks are a dying species, both in the home arena and in the business arena.

That was not a torrent, that was a whooping big ocean!

Porky societal leeches like that should be airlifted to the Serengeti to feed the cheetahs and hyenas, which would also make entertaining video.
Wouldn't that be cruelty to animals, feedings them rotten food like that?

Indeed. People only seem to be concerned if a person of value is late...
I predict lots of people showing up to work 2 hours late if they us their cellphones or iDevice as an alarm clock.
Or four hours if they use an iPhone...
