Title: FBI warns US businesses of 'destructive' malware
Post by: walkstall on December 02, 2014, 02:56:39 PM
Heads up...

The FBI warned U.S. businesses that hackers have used malicious software to launch destructive attacks in the United States, following a devastating cyberattack last week at Sony Pictures Entertainment.

The five-page, confidential "flash" warning issued to businesses late on Monday provided some technical details about the malicious software that was used in the attack, though it did not name the victim.

I'm not sure what concerns me more?

The fact that the FBI has a way to contact (presumably) all American businesses with a "confidential" flash warning...

or...

...that a supposedly "confidential" communication between the FBI and American businesses is now public knowledge! :huh:

Poor Sony... and all their private info released...  like how the company is 90% white male...  and all those lib-actors' social-security numbers... just out there now.  Fluttering in the breeze.

Anyone wanna bet that G.O.P. is a rightie-version of Anonymous?

Back in the very early 70s I saw Mike Wallace interview with the head of Sony, a very bitter and racist man.
He said quite frankly, that he wanted to use Sony as a vehicle for revenge of WWII, he wanted to dominate the electronics world, kill off American competition.

Since that day, I have not purchased one piece of Sony crap. So yes, I too revel in Sony's pain.
