really, of all the places you could put malware, someone decided to put some there? haven't her fans suffered enough already?

APT: You keep using that term

from here

APT (advanced persistent threat) is abused and misused so much by security marketing departments (and people who aren't in marketing but are still doing marketing) that abusing the term has itself become a meme. it really needs an anti-body meme to counter it.
