Hasn't been confirmed, and no virus has been found yet, but the center of that article claims that he thinks a virus was sent via sound. At first, I wanted to dismiss it as nonsense. But, is it conceivable possible? I never would have thought that a jpg could be infected with a virus 20 years ago, but that's happened, etc. In the case of this particular article, I'm pretty doubtful that he's actually found one, so, would rather ask the question this way - is this even remotely conceivable to do?
Thoughts?
