So maybe the best thing to do until someone comes up with a better idea is to create ~/WIFIADAPT and ~/ WIFIADAPT and make them inaccessible with chmod 000 and/or chattr +i?
Names written in all CAPITALS and not even hidden from listing, resemble on something that one wants to be found. Claim that was found 1st Linux virus is good for those that don't follow security very carefully, and that smells too. Thanks to long standing propaganda that Linux is not vulnerable due to its architecture, there is a lot of users that are careless about user support to their computer security. It seems that "1st Linux virus" is targeting them. They have no idea where to look for protection and can just download offered solution. It is either what Greg said, malware authors are smarter then discoverers, or it is a little ploy, well known from Windows, scare people and offer "solution" that does exactly what malware is accused for. Software is not that vulnerable as their users. It is easier to trick users then to find exploit, and that is what is happening in the majority of cases. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
