A warning on a new destructive 'trojan horse'
Having followed this story since before it became news, and having discussed this issue with Rob before he posted this article, I'd like to toss out two ideas that seem interesting.
A warning on a new destructive 'press release'
Forgive me for echoing something here, because I noticed your comment and wanted to repeat something from another post which I thought would otherwise be lost.
A warning on a new destructive 'press release'
Your point is well-taken. But what, exactly, is a trusted source? Apple? And the iTunes installer that erased hard dsks... Microsoft? Their software has been known to cause problems?
A warning on a new destructive 'press release'
Figuring out what is a trusted source is, just as in real life, all about common sense. Is Apple a trusted source? Almost certainly. I'm not familiar with this installer that erased the hard drive, but it sounds more like a bug than a malicious attack. Is P2P a trusted source? Absolutely not. P2P is the equivalent of taking candy from strangers. You were taught to not take candy from strangers, right?

Yes, Apple and Microsoft are what I would consider trusted sources. (Though people are very much questioning the latter. ;) ) |
