Trojan Horse????

Are you sure it was a trojan? Generally a Trojan horse pretends to be one thing but unleashes something unexpected (hence the name). Doesn't sound like they duped the user into downloading FREE.PORN.gif.exe but infact broke into his room and installed the software themselves.

Sounds like Spyware to me, definitely not a worm but not a trojan by definition either.

And this from

a country that still denies that it has nuclear capability, when it blatantly does.

Shock! Horror! Spy Steals Secrets!

It's like Spooks, but in real life.

No doubt the Syrians will be smarter next time...

... and leave details and GPS co-ordinates for the Chinese Embassy ...

Evil Maids

Anybody remember cold boot? Maids with liquid nitrogen in their lunch box thermos, those are the ones you really have to watch out for ...

You know

Governments need to be weary of doing stuff like this because it can set a president for other countries to do it to them.

too much to hope....

... that our "lords and masters" - who are pretty much all members of the "Friends of Israel" group - will recognise that this is a breach of UK law?

Thought so.

One rule for them, another for us.

Scum.

Mossad, eh ?

Any credible and verifiable evidence that this isn't just propaganda, attempted justification for Israel's attack upon Syria, and conveniently tying Syria to North Korea ?

I'm surprised they didn't find emails from Hamas, Hezbollah, Ahmadinejad, OBL, Al-Qaida and the Taleban detailing and documenting their complicity in Axis of Evil-doing. Perhaps that would be stretching things too far.

Look, up there; it's a helic

Ah

this is why governments do nothing about all the malware running rife thru the internet, most of it probably leads back to various government databases.

Anyway, I thought the Mossad were America's friend - when not being sneaky shits and assassinating their enemies... course, all that information is gleaned from NCIS, couldn't be bothered looking at Wikiwrong.

Should really be anon, but really can't be bothered, they know who I am and where I'm at.

Syrian infosec fail!

Why do these guys think they can build nuclear reactor if they leave laptops lying around? Apart from that, Bushco/AIPAC & Israel together are dumb as a sack of beans; they should just have told the IAEA to go take a look-see, but that that wouldn't have been manly and Tom-Clancy-like enough, now would it? Can't have THAT.

Ceterum censeo to AC:

"I am reminded of the enigma encoded message that was sent to the Mexicans offering them arms to fight against the US, this was decoded in the UK, but they staged a break in at the German embasy to make it look like it had been stolen. Knowledge that enigma had been cracked would have been very bad for the war effort."

You are mixing up the history of WWII (Enigma) and WWI (the Rest). Don't forget that the telegram was a godsend for Wilson so he could stick his fat interventionist finger into the Euro-Mess, leading to century of total catastrophe. Nice doing.

@Destroy All Monsters

Thanks D.A.M. It was WWI. I kept trying to conjure up Mata Hari and kept getting Julia Child, I figured it was because I was hungry.

One of the photos showed an Asian in blue tracksuit trousers, standing next to an Arab

TWAT!!

Asian should've listened to David Icke, and worn a turquoise tracksuit. He'd have been immune, being descended from the Lizard Race, written a book, and made a bomb! (oops...)

BH icon, natch. God, I'm so happy no-one knows Andus McCoatover's really Andy Crofts, Merikoskenkatu 6 a 11, Oulu, Finland. Shit, done it again.

Me and my...Sod it, why are all these choppers are around at the mome....................

A word of it I do not believe

Misinformation is just one of the tools of espionage.

not the average trojan

Any advanced spy agency wouldn't install a clumsy software trojan or spyware. Too messy. They install hardware trackers in the casing and remotely siphon the data. Israel has been known to use this stuff since the nineties already, tapping the back then clunky boxes in similar ways, listening in or backdoor screens, keyboards and other I/O. It's fairly standard nowadays. My educated guess would be that they install an internal controller that can even control the whole bus including monitor encryption keys flying by. It's all miniature enough to put in unseen and burn itself to a crisp after usage.

Mis-misinformation?

Maybe they just want you to THINK that it's misinformation?

Jolyon

Extrapolate this

and there are probably dozens of enemy (ie American, Israeli and Chinese) agents parked in neat rows outside MI6/GCHQ/Whitehall just following these Oxbridge idiots to the nearest pub waiting to snatch their lappies/blackberries... like shooting ducks in a barrel.

Oh yeah...

So the photos and details weren't provided by a spy on the inside but by some numpty leaving it all on his laptop..... like they will fall for that! Still I see the Syrians are simply building the next reactor in downtown Damascus, not as easy for Israel to take it out without killing thousands of people..... well according to some newspaper anyway.

Whats the best way out of an economic bust? A war of course.....
