confusion
| interesting article; seems to be on target. i like sending these to newbies i'm trying to educate, as many enjoy seeing something that explains what to them is just dark mystery and makes them a bit more proactive in wanting to stay protected.

| Great analysis by F-Secure...
So if someone (like, you know, a guy with a badge) persuades these web hosts to render those URLs harmless, Sober.Y is dead for this round?

1 edit | How would you prevent Sober from installing?
It has to be opened from an email attachment (which you would never do, of course) but what about others' home systems - how would you have them protect against Sober in case of the inadvertent "click on this"?
