Artificial unintelligence
Friday, October 16th, 2009 | Tech |
From Bruce Schneier: “During a daring bank robbery in Sweden that involved a helicopter, the criminals disabled a police helicopter by placing a package with the word “bomb” near the helicopter hangar, thus engaging the full caution/evacuation procedure while they escaped.”

Also of note in the letter was a story about a worm that placed itself on the users computer. It would make transactions when you logged into your bank and rewrite the HTML that came back from the bank, so they wouldn’t show up on your browser.
Pretty scary. Are you going to have to call into your bank now to check the balance to make sure it is the same as what is on screen?
