Considering most people agree that it IS Illegal to be accessing someone elses computer for "good" or bad ? why then, can we not at least threaten to sue the people who are trying to get into our boxes at our cost ?
Don't get me wrong - I am not saying that some poor sod should be sued just cos he got infected but, if the threat of legal action was there, would more people not take more pro-active actions to clear or at least check their machine for this worm ? On the other hand, could one sue Microsoft (do they provide implied warranties with regards to their suitability for certain tasks ? like hosting websites without hacking into someones elses boxes ?) In theory, is it not their product that is "hacking" into other computers - as opposed to the operator who may not even be aware of the infection.
