This blog will be mainly focused on my own experiences with computers and software. Both I am using now purely as a user and hobbyist. Also I comment on interesting news about ICT, privacy and combinations of both. In deze blog zal het voornamelijk gaan over ervaringen met computers en software waar ik tegenwoordig alleen nog hobbymatig mee bezig ben en mijn commentaar op imo interessante nieuwsberichten op het gebied van ICT, privacy en de combinatie van beide.

Meet 'Flame', The Massive Spy Malware Infiltrating Iranian Computers

Wired reports about another advanced massive spy malware attack 'Flame(r)' mainly spreaded in the Middle East with Iran as the main target. The malware has been detected by Kaspersky and filed under the name Flame and by Symantec filed under the name Flamer. The fully build up malware with all modules installed consists of 20 Mb code and looklikes to be part of a forth going cyberwar initiative. It again raises some concerns about internet safety because the malware is capable of infecting a fully patched Windows 7 PC probably using a zeroday vulnerability.

The internet never has been a safe place before and it yet had become more unsafe now.
