Stop the bots
Kelly Martin, 2006-04-18

Botnets are a major source of evil on the Internet, from spam, phishing attacks, virus propagation and denial-of-service attacks to the stealing of financial information and other illegal activity. Does disbanding them raise legal and ethical implications?

The issue covered with bots is not just a matter of spamming , phishing but if we focus on the future a bit more deeply we would see that there has to resources to stop the bots from invading wht u call the off computer networked world. On saying this i mean in the future most of the communication devices are going to b networked together right from cell phones , pdas , small gadgets n u can even say a wrist watch tht gives u gmail alert . And if some1 makes an analysis of the rise of technology in the last yrs i believe this kind of a future is also not that far when bots start invading most of the communicating devices n invading ppl's privacy there too.
