After having to spend an entire morning rebuilding my laptop
due to a malware infestation named Security
Live Platinum aka Reveton delivered by the Citadel platform, I had pause to think about these evil people and the manner
in which they prey on the novice internet user as well as the older population
that is not computer savvy. These vultures infect a system with software that
makes it appear as though the system was infected, when it’s actually the
software they snuck onto your system that was to blame. They then offer to ‘cure’
your problems for a certain amount of money. Now mind you, their spyware is
still active and tracking your every move, they just make it appear that all is
well. But wait! There’s more. Then, they sell the credit card information to
other crooks who can then take a swipe at your money as often as they can
before the card is shut down! So, not only did your system not get fixed, but
you also got taken…numerous times!
To me, this is nothing short of domestic cyber terrorism and I would like to see Americans everywhere
write their congress person to encourage them to enact laws that would bring
these people to justice under a military tribunal; a court that has the power,
by the way, to impose the death penalty. I would also like to see ‘bounty
hunters’ granted border immunity in going after these idiots. Let no country be
a safe haven! Only when this happens
will we ever have a chance of ridding ourselves of the lice that is costing so
much in the way of grief and expense.
If anyone has any information concerning the identity of the
people who are spreading this malware and spyware crap over the internet,
please feel free to post that information in the comments section.
