TEDxBrussels - Mikko H. Hypponen - Defending the Net

[Runswithscissors111]

The Copyright Information and Anti-Piracy centre is disgusting. Shame on you for compromising Internet freedom. Filth of the earth, no wonder Anonymous targeted you, and you have made more enemies, including me. You filed one of my ORIGINAL videos and had it removed. It is clear your mission is to destroy small original content creators, while defending larger content creators from competition. I will stop at nothing until I have you destroyed. Have a good day :)

Ask your questions to Mikko in the online F-Secure Community. The Q&A board is open until December 9.

how exactly does a government infect your PC?

[blackcaeser0]

@sl2mmer There are various methods. But let's be clear about one thing: If someone gets physical access to your computer without you watching him it's GAME OVER. In Germany they supposedly used at least once a check by customs to take the victim's notebook to a back room.

For stationary PCs it is most likely that they would break into one's flat to install the trojan on site or use a drive-by attack when you download some executable or file opened by vulnerable programs.

So, does F-Secure recognize Staatstrojan?

[TrickbustersMirrored]

@Razormann

Yes they do. See their website at f-secure(dot)com/virus-info/bd­tp(dot)html

Another great talk indeed. And I dont think many people trust our governments even these days! And I can understand that since there isnt a lot of reason for it.

[elchafa]

dummy below me criticizing the size of the venue lol

[devnulleee1987]

Another great talk with Mikko, but poor choice of venue. TEDx should be about the intimate level of conversations, not a huge concert hall.
