Virus in Orbit (again)
August 28th, 2008 FunForever
2 laptops on the ISS has been infected by the W32.Gammima.AG. This virus is made to steal logins and password from online gamers. The virus receive the login and password and then sends them to a remote server. The central operations have not been infected and the worm is described as a “nuisance”. This is not the first time a computer virus made its way to the ISS. Even astronauts should be careful playing WoW.
We had space tourists on ISS, now we also have space viruses.
