Naked Bruni pics used to hack European diplomats
EUObserver.com ^ | 11 December, 2013 | EUOBSERVER

Posted on 12/11/2013 9:59:35 AM PST by ScaniaBoy

China hacked computers in the foreign ministries of Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Latvia and Portugal in summer 2013, The New York Times reports, citing own research and work by IT firm FireEye. It said officials triggered malware by clicking email links to naked pictures of French celebrity Carla Bruni.

Addendum: "French celebrity" Carla Bruni is also the wife of former French President Nicolas Sarkozy, but I guess most FReepers knew that even if the EUObserver writer forgot all about it.

And then the real question. Are there no grown ups around any longer? Anywhere?

(Definitely not in the WH, Downing Street or Marienborg (the residence of the Danish PM).)

I call BS story

THIS is the entire "article" ..

"China hacked computers in the foreign ministries of Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Latvia and Portugal in summer 2013, The New York Times reports, citing own research and work by IT firm FireEye. It said officials triggered malware by clicking email links to naked pictures of French celebrity Carla Bruni."

Without photos ... how can we objectively judge ?

One could likely access 95% of government computers by offering the same malware with the bait of nude pix of Miley Cyrus. The figure drops to 10% with Michelle Obama.

One more reason why every IP address originating from china should be blocked from the internet.

To be honest and defend ms.obama (something I seldom do) of the people in that pic she understands the effect of diet choices very personally.

I still don’t like having her or any one tell me what I should eat of course.

Guaranty you the hackers would have failed — if they had sent links to naked pictures of MO.

There’s a nasty email bug going around, claiming to have naked pix of Moochelle.

If you click it, it DOES contain naked pix of her.

The horror.
