Four Kids Confess to Goner Worm

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the hope-they-get-grounded-with-no-dinner dept.

imrdkl writes: "4 kids in Israel have confessed to writing and distributing the Goner worm, according to Fox." Yet another annoying worm comes and goes, wasting countless IT hours, to say nothing of bandwidth. The kids face up to five years -- of course since they aren't in the U.S., they might actually be punished.

    It's like that TV Commercial that's been playing in the States here:

    *Woman peeks her head into IT Manager's office*
    "Oh, and Bob, I opened that e-mail virus -- just like you told me not to!"

    Hey Kids! It's cool to be a skr1pt k1dd13! Just like your uncle Bob says: worms are good, worms are great, write a worm and masturbate!

    That should make it uncool enough.

  4. We must now bomb Irael by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 4, Funny

    The new US Patriot Act (HR 3162) makes creating and spreading virus and worms an act of terrorism. As such King George must require extradition of the offending youths and hold a military tribulan. If israel refuses to give up these kids, then we must bomb Israel at a cost of $1 billion dollars per month to US taxpayers as punishment for harboring terrorists. We must make sure to hit any buildings with big red crosses on them and then deny it. We must kill many civilians and deny it and when US soldiers get killed, we muist blame it on friendly fire.
