You got a nice tie Mr Hacker

I came across this picture for a rogue anti-spyware program called IE Antivirus. It kind of made me laugh for two reasons:

• the hacker is wearing a nice shirt and tie
• The laptop he is hacking into and the icon for the computer logo are both Macs.

Well, I like the degree of professionalism seen here, but I’m not sure it’s depicting the real stuff. They’d be better off showing a kid in his basement playing Halo and checking the status of his botnet every now and again.

Anyway, the domain for IE Antivirus is hosted by ESTDOMAINS. (from Russia, with Love)
