Where will they strike next? This new German virtual warfare unit is going absolutely hog wild these days. It wasn’t enough that they took down the Interior Minister’s website last week. After that they just had to go and infect the French military’s computer network with that mysterious new “conficker” worm of theirs (well I have to assume that it’s theirs).

And now they’ve obviously lost all sense of proportion. They have begun infectiong hundreds of their own Bundeswehr PCs with the same worm, unable to demonstrate enough patience to wait for some virtual enemy out there to do it for them, like is supposed to happen (you can’t rely on anybody these days).

Word is that certain sections of the Bundeswehr’s IT network have now had to be taken down and isolated from the rest of the systems, to better take evasive action or something. Damn. Can you imagine how dangerous these guys would be if somebody gave them real guns (even if they only had one Barney Fife bullet each)?
