Secure OS
From the article:
“In the most devious attacks, Mr. Tobok said, lawyers at a major Canadian law firm working on a proposed deal involving the acquisition of a Chinese company received e-mails that appeared to be from a partner working on a deal. The e-mail was a fake, and its attachment launched a hidden computer program known as malware that infected dozens of the law firm’s computers.”
Perhaps it is time for Canadians who *need* a secure operating system to start employing Calgary-based OpenBSD? I realize how easy and popular that OS from America is, but the fact that a company’s millions/billions of dollars worth of deals can be acquired sending by anyone sending a single email message, is just absurd.
