Especially in these two cases where it didn't require a rocket scientist to just look inside the packages at the bloody text files and READ WTF was there. But that's only one aspect of it. Rixstep Rule: if there are idiots who can download shit like this and just install it and give away their bloody password then there are also idiots out there who will believe this is a real worm outbreak or an ATTACK FROM OUTER SPACE. The Microsoft security cottage industry crooks have already been seen trying to capitalise on this. McAfee were writing some nonsense about how sophisticated the actual trojans were and how WE ARE GOING TO SEE A LOT MORE OF THIS IN THE FUTURE BLAH BLAH. You know the score: if they can scare the idiots silly so they believe they can't be more secure away from Windows, that life is just this much shit with Windows and there's nothing you can do about it - then THEY WIN. They get to sell more of their useless products for a hopeless platform and punters compute in the misery Bill Gates has no ambition to ever take away. Once everybody is on a secure platform - then we can rap their knuckles. Then they might learn something from it. Without there being any deleterious side effects. For now we have to keep that message out there - that NO non-Windows systems can't be hacked, you ARE safer WAY SAFER away from Windows, etc. And for now we gotta help those fucktards and hold their hands and give them kerchiefs they can blow their noses in. ;) Cheers. You’re totally right – that if they’re that dumb they might have it coming to them. Especially in these two cases where it didn’t require a rocket scientist to just look inside the packages at the bloody text files and READ WTF was there.
