It really is a terrible thing with all the online hackers. Can't they just stick to some local network of their own creation for their hacks and leave the company's network alone? Oh no, I forgot, they have some sort of "justification".
I've seen some interviews with virus programmers. They actually feel JUSTIFIED! One of them claimed she was doing this as a serviec, A SERVICE! She claimed it was to force MS to upgrade their product. Yeesh, the only reason they'd NEED to upgrade is BECAUSE of people like her who go through the effort of making these viruses! Well, this is treading an old rant it seems, about that being akin to blaming the victim of a house burglery for not having tight enough security (which is stupid). Oh well.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
