Japanese cops cuff cat carrying remote control virus (RAT)

[QUOTE=elfbarf;39154884]OP is trolling, the original article says "posted to popular Japanese discussion board 2channel". There's no mention of reddit at all. [/QUOTE]

There was but they changed it as evidenced by the article's comments.

edit: Oh, I guess you know now

2ch/2channel is Japan's Reddit. Full of normalfags.
2chan is Japan's 4chan, or rather our 4chan is the West's 2chan.

if my information on RAT is incorrect i apologise, it was foolhardy of me to consider the singular source who educated me on them valid.

[QUOTE=sambooo;39153384]Why did you type '.RAT' as if that is the universally accepted extension
for malware or something? You clearly don't know what you're even saying.[/QUOTE]

typo. besides, i was misled to believe that the article was about an actual RAT.

my understanding of a remote-access trojan is simply that it allows the person who created it to access and control the computer of the infectee. (alá a remote desktop program) i've spoken to a user before and he told me this was the case. if it's incorrect then i apologise.

For the record, the arguing in this thread is now indistinguishable from the banter over at 2ch.
