Excerpt:
It is perhaps the most sophisticated piece of malicious software ever
designed – a digital surveillance device so complex it ran on sensitive
government computer networks for years, undetected.
And now, a tool that was almost certainly developed for state-sanctioned
cyberwarfare is out in the open, soon to make its way into the hands of
everyone from computer virus researchers to criminal gangs.
Comment:
Governments, anywhere in the world, using Windows software, are placing
their country's security at risk.
