[Informatics] Clever malware

[Mark]

According to hints in Wired
<http://www.wired.com/2016/04/security-news-week-clever-malware-sending-people-fake-speeding-tickets/>
some rather clever hacking is going on.

As far as I can see, an infected phone app is using GPS to detect users who
are speeding in their cars. It then sends the drivers fake speeding tickets
which look very convincing since the people really *had been *speeding, and
the app could also pinpoint the location of the 'offence'.

A nasty, but quite cunning plan.
