DVD smut malware blights US forces in IraqA different kind of insurgencyPublished Monday 12th May 2008 17:38 GMT Malware infected bootleg DVDs bought from Iraqi souks are causing US troops all sorts of problems. "Porno-Viruses" spread on these DVDs are triggering issues with so-called computer "RAM-rot". The popularity of smutty videos among Iraqi troops, in particular, is a concern, according to US Army Reserve Capt. Michael Noonan. "Due to the average Iraqi Army soldier's love of pornography, my memory stick would be filthy with viruses every time I had to go and get documents from my counterpart or his section NCOs," Noonan said in a Washington Post report. ® 26 comments posted — Comment period finished Well of course it isPosted: 17:51 12th May 2008 Minor correctionPosted: 17:55 12th May 2008 Iraqi troops?Posted: 17:57 12th May 2008 Disable AutorunPosted: 18:26 12th May 2008 Not newPosted: 18:56 12th May 2008
