what about legions of bad admins and bad coders, isn't it worst and more damagable?Hello,
The german IT security company "Securepoint" has hired Sven Jaschan, who wrote and spread the Sasser Internet worm, which caused widespread and costly damages to legions of Windows computers.
Why should he be death sentence for writing virus? Should he no life, no work IF he's responsible?He will work as a developer for security softwares such as firewalls.
This is a scandal! Whether or not you like the 250k USD head-hunting bounty which Microsoft Corp. paid to have Mr. Jaschan nailed, he is still a criminal.
Hiring him is a taboo. It is totally unacceptable to picture him as a modernok cool now he's a criminal call the FBI, CCU of Germany and you'll a 2 cents reward.
age Robin Hood or freedom fighter. He is a criminal, similar
to an arsonist, who sets a house alight and the fire spreads
to an entire city.
Hiring hacker/crackers or what ever security experts isn't new and sometimes is part of a marketing plan.
Sue the CIO who force companies to use 1 type of OS for user's workstation, sue the admin for not patching IOS, OS, softwares.I urge all to boycott the Securepoint and I urge those who suffered losses due to the Sasser worm to sue Securepoint and seek damages. VXing must end and we must send a strong message to teenagers that cracking is not hacking and will not be tolerated.
Oh wait... cracking ?? What's the point sasser?
