Went to read the actual article after almost posting a question, but the question still isn't answered by the article, not directly anyway.

I'm guessing, though I'm not certain, that this is a case of a virus doing random virus things. But it still makes the company that built the things look pretty damn bad.

Also, if a computer is expected to be secure for the sake of the public, rather than, say, a family, it should be a requirement to use Linux. Windows and Apple OSes should not be government OSes, especially for sensitive records. I can imagine using a special Apple computer for processing the video, but that computer needs to be majorly firewalled and only used for police stuff, no installing Call of Duty or visiting pornhub while using it.

This part intrigues me:
[QUOTE]Following the San Bernardino shootings, which left 14 dead, [Liberty University President Jerry] Falwell said he began carrying a .25-caliber handgun in his back pocket. He said he's had a permit for more than year.
During his address Friday, Falwell mentioned the weapon and reached around seemingly to fetch it.
"Is it illegal to pull it out? I don't know," he said, laughing, drawing some hoots from the audience.
[/QUOTE]
Apart from the obvious retort: "Why don't you know? If you consider yourself safe with firearms in public settings, shouldn't you acquaint yourself with the legal issues?", I also wonder if he considered whether it was legal for his audience members to respond to this "humour" by grabbing their own guns and shooting him dead for the perceived threat to their lives.

@Brian-E: We can only hope Mr. Falwell ends up shooting himself in the ass, either metaphorically or literally.

[This topic brings to mind the hilarious Siskel/Ebert-esque "Sneakin' in the Movies" faux-movie reviews in Robert Townsend's [i]Hollywood Shuffle[/i], specifically the one mocking Clint Eastwood/Dirty-Harry-part-17 (or whichever installment it was)'s "make my day" tough-guy line. In the Townsend mock-version, the 'stereotypical black thug character' replies "Make my day? Do 50 bullets in your ass make your day?" before shooting the white tough guy full of holes before he has time to pull his oversized handgun out of his underarm holster.]

The article says that there's a 1 in 93 chance that it's just random noise.

I like those odds. People have bet their lives on worse odds than that.
