The New Face of Script Kiddiez
An anonymous reader writes "Washingtonpost.com's Security Fix blog has an interesting post profiling the activities of a kid named Witlog who controls a botnet of roughly 30,000 hacked Windows PCs. Even after the authorities manage to shut down the network Witlog uses to control his bots, he pops up somewhere else. From the article: 'Witlog may in fact be the product of a new generation of script kiddiez; the chief distinguishing feature of this generation being that instead of using Web site flaws to deface as many Web sites as possible, these guys are breaking into thousands of home and work PCs and taking them for a virtual joyride, often times all the way to the bank.'"
...these guys are breaking into thousands of home and work PCs and taking them for a virtual joyride, often times all the way to the bank.
Great! Maybe he can reconcile my account balance while he's there.
This guy's the limit!
that should be distinctive on this "new face" is that it's either:
* Bruised and bloodied from the clue by four that's been applied; or
* mouth wide open screaming as his cell mate takes a new "wife."
...or some other place where the laws of the U.S. are not particularly respected.
I don't even know where to begin with a comment like that... : /
This guy's the limit!
Like Script Daddiez.
Yeah, we'll catch him like Osama!

Man, what were his parents thinking?!
And what kind of name is witlog? It's like cunningpoop, or something.
I guess he doesn't want people to think he's a dumbshit.
(Sorry, but you all know it had to be said!)
