Computer Virus Conflicker Found on Medical Equipment

It seems that biological viruses aren’t the only thing worrying hospitals.  In an ironic twist, several critical pieces of medical equipment were found to be infected with the Conflicker worm.

This is a surprising case of virus mutation.  Although the Conflicker worm seemed to be devoid of a malicious payload, it is the first reported to have infected such a wide range of systems.  This raises the stakes for the cybersecurity game, because the next virus could literally kill someone.

I found this article concerning a Facebook virus that has been going around recently. I received a link for the virus on my page so I began to get curious as to what it was all about and how dangerous it really is. To my surprise there were a lot of articles out there about this virus. If anyone has any similar security issues please post.
