[00:56] <ajmitch> oh dear
[00:56] <ajmitch> just saw http://www.stuff.co.nz/technology/digital-living/5458448/Malware-virus-hits-MetService-website
[01:30] <lifeless> wheee
[01:31] <ojwb> oh, so that's why we've had all this snow...
[01:32] <ojwb> it must have got into the weather control computers
[01:32] <lifeless> -lol-

[01:34]  * ojwb didn't even realise the metservice served ads
[01:34] <ajmitch> it's not something I noticed either
[01:35] <ajmitch> maybe they can have some 'switch to ubuntu' ads on there after this
[01:36] <ojwb> seems a little odd for what is (according to that article) a state run site, but OTOH perhaps it's better than higher taxes
[01:37] <mwhudson> metservice is a SOE isn't it?
[01:37] <mwhudson> so in theory supposed to make it's own money where possible
[01:37] <ojwb> mwhudson: that's what the stuff article says
[01:38] <ojwb> but there's a question of what's appropriate
[01:38] <mwhudson> yeh
[01:39] <ojwb> and while I don't have direct recent experience of serving ads, I doubt it is all that lucrative
[01:40] <ajmitch> getting malware in was probably lucrative for whoever did it
[01:40] <ajmitch> especially as this one was apparantly a 'pay to fix your PC now' scam
