The 12KB Bomb
Kelly Martin, 2004-03-17

It only takes a 12KB virus for total system compromise and a highly effective spam engine. Anyone can make one. Some assembly required.

The average virus writer is, 99% of the time, someone like you with a full time job, a house, and a wide circle of friends.

Get your facts right :] Maybe you should take a leaf out of Sarah Gordon's book.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/3240901.stm

"All those years of research and contact have revealed that many myths about virus writers are just that.

The stereotype that virus writers are all young teenage boys with no social life, hiding in their basement is not accurate," she said."

Your article is a bit stereotypical. Maybe you should talk to a few virus writers or do some research before you condem them to sitting in dark rooms in their underwear or talking like you know the scene.
