This kind of speculative crap has all the hallmarks of a weakly-constructed PR stunt.

I love the fact that they created this article out of NOTHING: here's Kaspersky commenting on something he clearly hasn't even checked out yet, but for some reason the reporters are already there before he's even had a chance to look at the patient.

And the time frame 'last weekend' oh please! "Well I remember it was, erm, last weekend because, uh, I was uh, trying to think of an imprecise time for my bogus story, and then it came to me."

"Everyone's bored of computer viruses now, so how do we get em all scared again so we can sell more of our overpriced, silly anti-virus code, and our 'update definitions' files that contain absolutely nothing? Oh yeah, let's tell them their cars are under threat, that usually motivates Americans."

Why is everybody so scaredy and pathetic these days? It's like everyone WANTS an excuse to be afraid, and these guys are profiting.
