This worm is interesting. It uses Facebook to propagate itself but uses the Crossrider cross platform API to install itself on ALL OS platforms. Quite clever.

It spoofs clicks on Adsense and other ad networks whenever the infected user's browser shows sites with those ads.

JohnnyClips would tell you that everything is secure because when a group says they are going to do something its really the government making the story up.

How to recognize a government conspiracy, and or a government program of any kind:
it's thirteen years behind schedule
it's $64 billion over budget
it doesn't work
the majority of GFY posters think it's a good idea

If it worked, the government probably was not involved.
