The news that the International Space Station (ISS) has been infected witha c omputer virus pretty much tells you that no one is safe from these annoyances.

Luckily the virus that made it to the space station this past July, Gammima.AG, is directed at only stealing login information for popular online games, and poses no threat to the operation of the station.  The laptops that are infected are not networked to the station, but unfrotunately that is no Internet connection for them to be sent to the station, so they will have to wait until the next mission in November.

This just goes to show that any one has the potential of catching a virus, no matter how many safeguards they have in place.  Apparently these laptops had been cleared before they left for the station, but it seems the virus may have gotten on them via an infected flash drive.  No matter how much you may trust a source, you should always be aware that everything is potentially a virus and handle it with care until you are sure.
