Virus Writing: Not fun, not funny
InternetNews | at | by Mike
All of the Internet's various cyber-nuisances -- virus writers, hackers, spammers -- are testing the patience of virtually anyone who depends on networking and Internet technology, from Fortune 500 CIOs to grandparents on dial-up who merely want to download pictures of their grandkids, not some 14-year-old scriptkiddie's idea of a kewl practical joke.
I say "virtually anyone" because some Linux diehards think it's a hoot that the MyDoom virus on Sunday shut down the Web site of SCO Group with what is being called the biggest Denial of Service attack ever.
It's not hard to see who the bad guys are here [open source movement] -- the virus writers.
