Was there any connection?
Yesterday afternoon, while doctors were running a series of medical tests at the Valley Hospital Medical Center, a piercing alarm sounded from a myriad of speakers on the 4th floor all around me.
In tandem with a continuous loop, a recorded voice urgently noted that there was an "Emergency" underway in the Hospital's records department.
The alert continued for about ten minutes.
Then, stopped.
When I asked the Nurse if there was a fire, she hesitated, then informed me that a drill was underway.
Intriguing.
If that was the case, why did all the nurses and hosptial employees scatter this way 'n that?
Then, two other events caused me to sit up and take notice that something may be awry.
For instance, shortly after the "innocent" drill, a dialogue box popped up on my laptop.
VIRUS ALERT!
I clicked on the History files for Microsoft Security Essentials.
Whoa Nellie!
According to the anti-virus software, the laptop suffered a severe attack on Wednesday July 22nd @ 1:07 p.m.
Microsoft labelled it as follows:
ExploitJava/CVE-2008-5353.gg
The intruder, according to Microsoft, is a dangerous virus capable of compromising privacy and damaging the computers (SEVERE)
Exploit.Java. contains malicious code which exploits vulnerability in java applets.
The attacker inserts malicious code to a web page to exploit this vulnerability, so that the users who visit the web page and load java applets, get their systems infected.
Type: TT_Trojan
Curiously, Microsoft Defender is not able to track the malware.
In contrast, Microsoft Security Essentials will uncover the virus, contain it, and remove it.
In closing, it may be important to note that the malicious ExploitJava Virus laptop infection gained access through the WiFi Internet Service at the Valley Hospital Center in Las Vegas.
Now, for the intriguing news!
A nurse informed me today (in a casual conversation about the body scan apparatus used to monitor the liver, the heart, and so forth and so on) that the high-tech equipment relies on Nuclear energy.
"We've been having difficulty securing the nuclear materials to operator the machine in recent months, so the tests have been limited to just two or three a day."
In addition, there were a couple other comments uttered up about the source of the "nuclear materials" that caused my antennae to soar into hyper-drive.
A detailed report on the "Nuclear data" will follow.
It may be explosive!
