Just watching the science channel, and its about this war 2020.
Anyways, what im trying to get too, is that they were talking about someone finding this one like.. I forget the word they used. But its like a post, or a server. And they dropped a virus into it, and in a few days, it literally spread through out the internet. And they were talking about how it would cause pandemonium because banks would zero out, no more emails, faxes, etc.
Now, im sitting here thinking, thats impossible. I mean there is so much out there to block this kinda crap. I mean we have firewalls up the <you know what> and there is just too many things that the virus would have to go through to get to the targets. I mean its just like a real life virus. It cant destroy its host, because then it has no where to go and dies with it.
If this virus is so powerfull, how can any computer stand up to it? If it can penetrait the highest securities of the government, and banks, all home users arond the planet, whats to say that it wont destroy the computer thats its trying to host of. Im aware that there may be something that could be made that blocks the holes that it is supposed to exxecute its self through. But with that said, wouldnt the government or the works greatest banks be aware of just about everything?
Then again thinking, how can one server be connected to everything in the world. Assuming it is a dirty employee or something, and they are on the inside, it still doesnt really matter, because its only connect to so much. But, you could argue that the virus would just 'keep going' because technicly everything is connected to anything. But as soon as the virus was found, there would be an immediate patch, right?
Lol, I really odnt know what im talking about, just rambling. But seriously, you guys think a 'super virus' is possible?
