February 14, 2011 - A report by Symantec says that the computer virus Stuxnet infected five Iranian industrial facilities. Stuxnet is the same virus that infected Iran’s uranium enrichment complex and took 1,000 gas centrifuges offline. The malware was able to infiltrate their systems through an infected email or USB jump-drive.
In other news, Apple is considering taking their MobileMe cloud storage system and turning it into a multimedia hub. Users would be able to store their iTunes downloads online and access them from any web-ready device.
The media storage locker could be made available as early as June. And finally, Congresswoman Jackie Speier has introduced the Do Not Track Me Online Act to the House of Representatives. The bill is supported by eight privacy advocate organizations and would allow consumers to opt out of online tracking. By opting out, advertisers would lose the ability to serve ads that are specific to users.
