I get the impression that part of the problem is...you cannot detect it.
Right, I read that, but that was back in 2008, and if I’m reading correctly this is the same type of malware used years ago when dos was prevalent in Windows OS. So it’s been about 3 years since this article was written and still undetectable? They know enough to know that it’s infected infrastructure software throughout the US but they can’t detect it? I don’t buy it.
