It's a _linux_ virus, st00pid. Wow. I was afraid this would happen this fast. Someone apparently wrote a demo-virus for linux on the iPod. And voilà: Now you can read about the "first iPod virus", probably in a few hours all over the 'net.
Just to make this as clear as possible: Your iPod is not in danger. Even if you're running linux on it, the virus is not in the wild. But as long as you're running your iPod as intended, this virus does *NOT* apply. At all.
Wow. It's incredible how people don't think when writing headlines. As if most people would remember what the article actually says. :/ So please, if you're blogging somewhere, repeat after me: It's a _linux_ virus, st00pid. - posted by Patrick Armbruster @ 16:26 [article link]
