No, “computer viruses in space” is not a pitch for a TV show, it is what we have. Laptops on the International Space Station have been infected by a virus.
The laptops carried by astronauts reportedly do not have any anti-virus software on them to prevent infection. Once it has scooped up passwords and login names the Gammima.AG worm virus tries to send them back to a central server.
This is pathetic. There are laptops in space that are trying to ‘call home’ and deliver the logins and passwords of the laptop users.
Get a Mac.
