I'm probably not the first to note the similarity of the paper's title to that cliché about rock stars and their groupies. One has to wonder how much the authors were influenced by the Zeitgeist of the sixties, the so-called Flower Power era.
Still it makes for an interesting read that shows how much we already knew about space before Yuri Gagarin and John Glenn finally reached low earth orbit. Maybe a doped astronaut isn't such a bad idea, getting high in the high of space.
Well, compared to a year ago, social networks consume about the same amount of my time, which is none. Actually, I was looking for the following radio buttons:

There's a confusing reference to "containing malicious executables" in the first sentence of the summary, which appears to be a nearly direct quote of the first few paragraphs of the article itself. However, the emails only contain a "link" to the malware, which, of course, is less exciting news, since that's what some s(p/c)ammers already do. (To be sure, this is corrected in the second sentence which mentions the "messages contain a link" to the file.) This is a two-stage browser-based attack, which uses social engineering via email as its point of entry.
Incidentally, the link to the article is to a site hosted by a anti-virus vendor, rather than an independent security company. So take it all with a grain of salt or puff of powder.
