USB worm unleashed by Russian state hackers spreads worldwide
LitterDrifter's means of self-propagation are simple. So why is it spreading so widely?

"the malware is written in the Visual Basic Scripting language." is where I stopped 😹 lol at least we know the Russians are suffering.
This is like when I assumed my high school IT department was so good that I'd never be able to get past their content restrictions, but then renaming Halo CE to "explorer.exe" let me play all the games I wanted.
I had FF3 broken up into a few files and renamed and disbursed through the school network so I’d just pull them all into a local file at the computer I was working at in the lab and play during class. I thought I was the shit.

Renaming it to "winword.exe" was my go-to.
To be fair, it’s pretty smart to exploit the flaws in VB to make malware.

Haha touché
Are they? Because if the worm is successfully spreading... 🤷
It's funny, though..
They're Russians. There's no situation where they aren't suffering.
They’ve been exporting their suffering to Ukraine the last few years as well.
As a non programmer, isn't visual basic for Excell scripts?
No you can run any .vbs script standalone
I’m not following. VBScript seems like the right tool. Why would they use something else? They’re generally light years beyond US defense capabilities so there’s a real dearth of suffering on their side.
Now if the joke is that they’re suffering because they have to use VBScript, I can get behind that
WScript.Echo "Just saying if I was invited onto a team intent on wreaking havoc upon our enemies, I would probably quit after 100 lines of calling windows apis in VBScript" & vbNewLine
tbh I think VBScript is more pleasant to write than C in many cases
Nothing wrong with that! VB isn't fundamentally bad, I'm just accustomed to C family langs
