good thning that he didnot mention that flah 10 would be added, but only talked about the front facinf camera. which i am sure lured some people but it would have been devastating if he had mentioned flah 10 on that malware because of the population we have in N900 users wanting flash 10 so bad.

I think if he had mentioned flash 10 then it would have made a lot of people suspicious. Surely the first announcement of flash 10 would come from nokia or a reputed maemo developer, not some kid with bad grammar

for real??? i made a pack with a leaked flash, is there some sospic malware???? i m talking about the leaked version, let me know about it becouse i made a pack for my community!!! thanks!!! i m scared!!!

hmm would be intresting if someone had unpack the debfile and check its contents.

Maybe the troll just is desperate after some more porn an copy all contents from n900 to his server and hope to see some naked girlsfriends or similar lol.

writing such script is probadly very easy. So people should learn not install apps from non official repositorys or atleast check file contents before install.

You can get porn for free in the net. I have a lot. I think he is after money.

I thought linux never gets viruses ??
XD

It depends on malware writers. As long as Linux is rarely used, most malware writers don't bother to write malware for it (different flavours of Linux have different package formats, filesystems, directory structures, ways to protect against malware, Internet browsers, window managers). But if there is one particular kind of Linux which is more predictable, easier to attack and giving greater advantage, it might be attacked.

Worrying that someone would learn unix commands and deb package format just to be a digital *******.

Hey Veleno. Thanks for the heads-up. I had a quick look at maemomeego.net at what you had to say about him/her "Damn, YOUR APPLICATION IS A SIMPLY SCRIPT FOR DELETE ALL THE CONTENTS OF THE PHONE!
You're a dirty bastard!
I hope you die soon " made me laugh. Why would someone want to release something like that. Thanks for letting us know.

Don't be too harsh. He's probably 12 and wants everyone to know hw learned to write a script. That's why it's called a script kiddie. Just like every child goes through his or her "mommy, mommy, mommy" phase, so does everyone. Ever since there were flies and humans there were humans that ripped their wings off.

And if you are not good anough to impress in a good way, the only way left is the bad wayl

Besides, they are all necessary. Without these kinds of arses security would be lax, people uninstructed. I tell you, once you lose all you data you stop running oddball scripts, start making backups.

Who here has complete backups AND has never lost a file? I'm telling you, some lessons are only learned the hard way.

Not that I approve, but swearing at the script kiddie is like being upset at the wind taking your trailer. It's just a force of nature. If anything, you need a better house. Just because you think you should be able to live under a blanket doesn't make it so. And just because we'd like to install and run everything safely doesn't make it so.

Die soon? That has got to be an overstatement. But then again, kids will be kids both ways.
