From Greewald/Snowden -- NSA's plan to put malware in millions of computers

Glenn Greenwald's website firstlook.org/theintercept/ is undergoing a revamping to eventually shift from an Edward Snowden leak reporting website to a news website.

Meanwhile, some of the stuff they've already put out still deserves attention. For example, see How the NSA Plans to Infect ‘Millions’ of Computers with Malware about the program that would attempt to infect computers with a program that would send files to another location. It sounds a little like the FBI's CIPAV but without the warrant and individual targeting.

These programs wouldn't be detectable by the American made off-the-shelf anti-virus program, or if they were, the companies would be prohibited from disclosing them. But surely there are some entrepreneurs in some other Western countries who could figure it out and develop a virus detector that could remove government sponsored malware. There are opportunities out there, just not here in the U.S.
