"Now, according to an investigative report by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, an Israeli technology company called Insanet has developed the means of delivering spyware via online ad networks, turning some targeted ads into Trojan horses. "

"The silver lining is that Sherlock [ the spyware ] appears to be expensive to use. According to an internal company document cited in the Haaretz report, a single Sherlock infection costs a client of a company using the technology a hefty US$6.4 million."

Where is that cost coming from?

who cares spyware nowadays ?

One computer for business is always off-the-Internet

For the Internet you use another computer

Every phone call gets recorded and voice-2-text processed by default under GSM standard
called conference call.

Conference call can be invoked by an operator or by a calling party to make more than 2 parties on-line.

If conference call is invoked by an operator, the third party is called a computer, recording
a call and processing it voice-2-text for reference.

VIPs never use smartphones, never use computers
hiring thid party secretaries
for making calls and living on the Internet

VIPs on Twitter hired secretaries and computers to send Bs of tweets daily
