Malware in Space!

In an article by the BBC today, NASA confirms that a trojan virus designed to steal passwords and login information for online games such as World of Warcraft, has found its way onto the International Space Station. Many of these games are popular mostly in Asia, such as Maple Story, HuangYi Online, and Talesweaver. This virus didn't even have to pay as much as Lance Bass did to the Russians before they denied his flight! The trojan known as Gammima.AG traveled to space on a laptop that was going to be used for official space business by an American astronaut. It originally made it onto this laptop by way of an infected USB thumb drive, at least that's their guess.
NASA told the space news website SpaceRef that no command or control systems were in danger of being infected being the virus, as the ISS has no direct connection to the net, and the virus relies on "calls home" to communicate.
Strangely enough, this isn't the first time a virus has made it into orbit, according to NASA and the BBC report. It's a sad day when you can't even log into WoW and grind safely for a couple of hours whilst in orbit anymore.
