Kaspersky Lab, a Russian cybersecurity firm, said it had recorded at least 45,000 attacks in as many as 74 countries.

Interesting, especially coming on the heels of this...

I have been getting a lot of strange emails recently. Some with no attachments.

Are you suggesting that if you use Kaspersky you couldn’t have been hacked?

Stolen from a US govt agency.....if this was stolen from Vlad i could just imagine the outcry .....the feigned indignance and demands for compensation. Maybe considered as aiding terrorists.

Not a peep about why the NSA has this tool and for what covert use.

No.

Think deeper. The timing looks too convenient.

DREAMERS,

EVEN CAPITALISM'S "SIDEKICK" TECHNOLOGY WILL PROVE TO BE ONE OF ITS MAJOR DOWNFALLS!!

REMEMBER WHEN YOU DID AN ECONOMICS COURSE BACK IN THE 70'S AND 80'S!!!

THE LECTURER WOULD "BLOW HIS TRUMPET" PROCLAIMING THE CRITICAL PART THAT TECHNOLOGY WOULD PLAY IN THE FUTURE!!!

IT SURE IS!!!

OH RA$$!!!!

FUNNY AS FCUK!!!!

HA!HA!HA!
