[Full-Disclosure] Malware added to transmissions

[Paul <onestepto@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to those who've expressed an opinion on the possibility of malware being 
added to a transmission in transit.
 
I didn't really have email in mind so a plain text interception/manipulation 
would not be required.  My query really centres on whether a data stream (such 
as a media file) being downloaded could be tainted by a compromised node so 
that the receiver gets an unwanted 'bonus'.  With veriviable files checksums 
should prevent this but what of files that do not have checksums?



one step at a time...
