      Thanks. I read the article but (from my reading) they left out the most important part out: how it spreads and infects a machine. Sometimes they make a huge deal about a Linux backdoor and then it’s revealed right at the end (if at all) that it requires local access. Wah whaa. Now I have to scan every article to see what the actual method is.

        That just means your need your man on the inside and considering we just had a situation where a Chinese asset was employed for the local power corporation, I don’t think it’s that much of an issue…

          I’m not going to be as worried that my personal stuff is getting hacked if it requires someone to actually visit me at home lol

            Your personal info is also stored in the bank’s computers, the government’s computers, your employer’s computers and so on…

            That’s where the person on the inside comes into play.

              Right but I don’t have to worry about my own computer is what I mean. Can’t do anything about bank or government computers anyway.
