New fear: Worm that ransacked US military PCs was blueprint for spies' super-malware A mystery worm that burrowed into US military computers to steal secrets six years ago may have inspired the development of subsequent government-grade malware Red October, Turla, Flame and Gauss. Researchers at Kaspersky Lab reached this conclusion after finding similarities between Agent.btz – the worm that attacked in 2008 …
"This doesn't mean there's a direct link between Agent.btz's makers and the developers of subsequent cyber-espionage tools, however."
It also doesn't mean there isn't a direct link.....
'Hmm I'd like funding to start a Cyber Crime Division, now what could I do to stimulate interest in such a thing?'
Except for a few small facts missed in the story.
Agent.BTZ was a PRC written and distributed worm.
So, it's known that Russia, the PRC, Israel and the US have malware.
Come to think of it, who *doesn't* have malware spying for them and who *isn't* sniffing every little bit of traffic that they can?

I've missed your complete markov-algorithm-generated random sentences stringed together to form a larger nonsensical wall of crap, so i enjoyed this :D ... Valeyard
You're a bit of a duffer and bluffer yourself, Valeyard, for that double negative of yours ....a larger nonsensical wall of crap could have some led some minors and miners to believe that you know the opposite to what you have posted, but you obviously don't, for if you did, you would never have wasted any time deriding the content rather than advancing it.
Although all bets are off with regard to that last sentiment and caveat if madness has any active part in its play.
Clearly do we play to and server different audiences and clients/bases.
There is no good reason at all for it not to be first of many replies, Valeyard, whenever we travel not dissimilar shared future paths.
Similar views shared are squared in impact rather than just simply doubled and add a few more with reinforcing thoughts and all of sudden, in a virtual instant, is there an exponentially powerful force against which there is no viable effective opposition or competition.
And that really fcuks up the the System and Establishment and Status Quo Power Elite Analogous Bodies.
