Wait, why are you promoting the guy's Twitter if you're suspicious? I got more suspicious because of the audio transmission portion, but that was after the article mentioned OpenBSD getting a problem. If this guy is such an expert, then he should have no problem testing a desktop system without audio connections. Instead he "noticed" a high-pitched whine but hasn't analyzed it in the two weeks since mentioning it on his Google Plus feed. Note also that said feed has not been updated since October 26th or so (it just says "six days ago" on Hallowe'en). There are lots of missing parts in his own writing. When I tear down weird installs or set up new boxes, I write a lot of notes. I'm in tech support and technical writing, so I know the format that conveys boring facts effectively. This rambles too much. Something is unfocused, and that doesn't speak well. I guess what's most suspicious is that he has this uber-malware that can spread almost psychically to any OS on a Wintel box. However he's the only person reporting it.
