During the Obamacare debate, all kinds of financial tricks were used to limit the cost to roughly $1T over ten years. I argue, kill this divert the funding to fusion research. We would benefit more from solving our energy problem for the foreseeable future than we "benefit" from the mess that is Obamacare.

Sneaky Blackmailing Virus That Encrypts Data 409

Posted by timothy on Thursday June 05, 2008 @05:57PM from the ouch-and-double-ouch dept.

BaCa writes "Kaspersky Lab found a new variant of Gpcode which encrypts files with various extensions using an RSA encryption algorithm with a 1024-bit key. After Gpcode.ak encrypts files on the victim machine, it changes the extension of these files to ._CRYPT and places a text file named !_READ_ME_!.txt in the same folder. In the text file the criminal tells the victims that the file has been encrypted and offers to sell them a decryptor. Is this a look into the future where the majority of malware will function based on extortion?"
