NASA Discovers Computer Virus Aboard The Space Station

A virus has been detected on several laptops being used at the space station. NASA is downplaying the incident but anyone that knows anything recognizes this as the beginning of a hostile invasion of our planet by an advanced alien race trying to destroy life as we know it…oh yeah, and they want to steal our WoW account information too.


NASA downplayed the news, calling the virus mainly a "nuisance" that was on non-critical space station laptops used for things like e-mail and nutritional experiments. NASA declined to name the virus, but SpaceRef.com, which broke the story, reported that the worm was W32.Gammima.AG worm -- a worm first detected in August 2007 that installs software that steals credentials for online games.
