[LINK] DSD Stopped My Browser

[Tom Worthington]

I noticed that Defence Signals Directorate (DSD) were advertising for 
cryptography staff on my web site, via Google Adsense. The ad contained 
a seemingly random string of characters. This looked like a code puzzle, 
so I copied the text, intending to decode it.

But as soon as I copied the text and before I could paste it anywhere, 
my computer slowed down and started behaving strangely. I had to stop 
and restart the browser. I have no copy of the mystery code and the ad 
has not reappeared. I guess I failed the test and will not be offered a 
job. ;-)
