Better Business Bureau's website:
Scammers in Estonia infected computers worldwide with malware that turned off virus updates and redirected consumers to fraudulent websites. When the FBI busted the scam ring last November, they set up clean servers to replace the ones running the scam. Victims have been redirected to those new servers ever since, usually without any knowledge they’d been infected in the first place.
While this appears legit, there's always that chance it's a good enough hoax to fool everybody. But what I find truly delicious is that there's probably a whole big bunch of rubes out there who'll believe this is some kind of nefarious attempt on the part of Obama and Eric Holder to spy on the 'Merikun people.
I'm seriously considering planting the seeds on facebook (eg) that "consevatives" should avoid this at all costs, especially if they own any guns, or have ever searched for anything online concerning weapons, ammo, or anything that could be construed as survival gear, etc, etc. And if they've visited any websites the gubmint might consider rightwing, whoa boy - better not go near this thing.
Could be loads of, but I'm likely too late for all that - what're you willing to bet that some wingnut's already put out the alarm? Be afraid, Conservative Pussies - be very afraid.
