Computervirus on board of ISS space station

category: Blorrow 

One of the topic in the EOS-mailinglist today said that a few computers in the ISS space station are currently infected with a virus.
NASA confirmed that it indeed there but it's not a danger at the moment.  According to sources it would be a worm with name W32.Gammima.AG.

Now here is the moment that I wanted to blog about it cause it's a pretty dangerous and creepy thought that 71 computers in a space station at 321 kilometers above our heads is running on MS Windows AND above all is infected with a worm.
