Virus Writers - The Enemy Within

Slob Nerd writes "An interesting read from todays Observer "He's 21, he's got dreadlocks, likes punk bands... and his hobby could wreck your computer in seconds. Clive Thompson infiltrates the secret world of the virus writers who see their work as art - while others fear that it is cyber-terrorism.""

I knew there was a reason I read the Observer.

Pretty decent reporting for a newspaper. And I love this quote:

Microsoft markets its products to less expert computer users, cultivating the sort of gullible victims who click on disguised virus attachments.

Woefully accurate, if the users I've admin'd for are anything to go by. We need to encourage people to think about what they do when they use computers, not oversimplify.
