Darlene Storm: Malware wars heat up: Shamoon steals, wipes and leaves PCs unbootable


Be extra careful about opening email attachments since the new Shamoon malware
can do more than corrupt, destroy or delete files; it can overwrite the master
boot record and leave a computer unusable. Was this what hit Saudi Aramco,
the world's largest oil company? Shamoon is in the wild now. The
Guass malware installs a new font, so was the malware writer a typeface fan?
Malware allegedly caused AC/DC's Thunderstruck to blast at maximum volume
in the middle of the night from Iranian nuclear facilities. Was the malware
writer a heavy metal fan? Or are these uncracked mysteries merely a sign that
the malware wars heating up?

Are biometric ID tools evil?
