The virus is a “W32.Gammima.AG” type and it steals confidential information to players on 10 different video games on the Internet. It is noteworthy that the functions of the space station were not affected by this virus. The official spokesman for NASA has declared that there was detected a (worm) type virus in July 25th. And about the theory of the computer virus infection is that it has been infected during the loading of its programs or have been transferred from a flash drive.

It’s good that this virus steals information such as user name and password in some video games and it is something that astronauts do not play often :D
