SOPHOS CLAIMED the Russian Stock Exchange fell foul of a virus earlier this week.

The firm said the unnamed virus infected a net based computer and forced trading to be suspended.

Sophos said the malware everyone was worried about today - the so-called Kama Sutra virus was a "damp squib".

But, said senior consultant Graham Cluley, the one that attacked the Russian Stck Exchange infiltrated the RTS and could have given hackers access to systems. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
