Virus reaches space!
None of us doubt the potential of computer virus’s these days, but one virus has amazed even the most experienced computer users. It will be the first virus to cross the atmosphere into space. NASA has confirmed that some laptops on the international space station are infected with the W32.Gammima.AG virus, which is a worm and its function is to steal usernames and passwords for online games.
The virus will not affect any of the International space station’s operations. The W32.Gammima.AG was first discovered by Symantec a year ago. It affects Windows 2000, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP operating systems. Symantec says the virus spreads by copying itself to removable media.
NASA said the investigation about how the virus got onto the ISS laptops will be carried out but the cause may not be made public due to security reasons.
The potential a lot of virus’s have, and how vulnerable such large and sophisticated systems are, are the facts that have made the security industry the fastest growing in the IT field.
