That's the way the Iranian nuclear bomb program was derailed: a virus was spread on USB Flash drives that only infected specific nuclear engineering software for Windows computers with specific Arabic tags! So, in this instance I'm kind of glad that capability WAS there... It set back their nuclear program by at least two years I understand!
Incidentally, my understanding is that does not happen on Macs. Shhhh. Don't tell any one.
Yeah - I appreciate that, and so did everyone else. It was totally cool, but it’s a one-use trick on the international level, because everyone is wise to it now.
