MUST READ: password stealing viruses from electronics!!!!

http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/ptech/0...rss_topstories

holy fucking shit. read this one. seems chinese electronic crap may have viruses installed in their software.

It's the digital equivalent of the recent series of tainted products traced to China, including toxic toothpaste, poisonous pet food and toy trains coated in lead paint.
perhaps this thread should be in security? i dont know. but you need to read this.

Quote:
Jerry Askew, a Los Angeles computer consultant, bought a Uniek digital picture frame to surprise his 81-year-old mother for her birthday. But when he added family photos, it tried to unload a few surprises of its own.

When he plugged the frame into his Windows PC, his antivirus program alerted him to a threat. The $50 frame, built in China and bought at Target, was infected with four viruses, including one that steals passwords.

Unless you want to die instantly by your own hand you'll have to take risks.

The normal things you do with a high risk are commonly accepted - like crashing a car (or be driven over by one), industrial food, smoking, alcohol, medication, environmental pollution, peak oil, airplane traveling, getting stung by a moskito while in holiday some thousand KM away from home or murdered by the jelous husband, entering a hospital (both as guest or patient), loosing while playing the lottery, backdoors in windows etc.

For this stuff we're freely willing to eg. pay the price of mobility.

But there are some worth a newspaper headline and they all have only a very slim to nil chance of hitting you - like terrorism (with or without airplanes), winning a lottery... or chinese equipment with spyware included.

So please get real.
