Agree in full. One can only wonder how many other like virus, worms, are embedded in systems world wide.

Does your friend allow usb drives to be plugged into his non network machine??

If so, it may not be as safe as he thinks.

When the US can’t openly fight a war, it has to go the covert route.

We can’t let Iran go nuclear. We don’t want Israel to have a reason to attack Iran. Covert cyber warfare is the way to go. At least that’s what former cyber czar Richard Clarke thinks. And while I am FAR from being a fan of Ricard Clarke, here I agree with him.

I also think China leads in cyber espionage
