Richi Jennings: Russians infect space with USB malware, Stuxnet found in nuclear reactor


ISS in malware scare, plus Russian reactor bad-actor factor.
The ever-quotable Eugene Kaspersky revealed last week that the International
Space Station has been hit by several malware attacks. Beware Russian cosmonauts
bearing USB keys. He also casually mentioned the Russian nuke plant that was
infected by Stuxnet. In IT Blogwatch, bloggers fear the worst but hope for the
best.

Facebook locked some users out of their accounts after determining that their
log-in credentials were exposed as a result of a security breach at Adobe. The
