May 15, 200422 yr Heard a rumor that kid that made the sasser worm may get fined and maybe 5 years and thats all. he's affected miliions of computers worldwide shouldnt someone like that get sentenced worldwide. I was not personally affected by this but i know those that were would prbably wish they could get ahold of him. things that make you go hmmm...
May 15, 200422 yr i was affected by that WORM!!!! and i hated it! it pissed me off so bad that i was thinking of reinstalling my OS!!! i think he shd get lifetime.
May 15, 200422 yr Well, so infecting some guys computer should be equated with murder or rape?1-5 years sounds good to me, because I bet if he did it again, they would throw the book at him. You have to understand that he is also royally hosed for the rest of his life with a criminal record. His only real hope is to go into business for himself or get a job from friends or family if he intends a high tech career. Yeah sure it is highly annoying and potenitally disastrous to be infected with a virus. But really, if someone left the front door of their house open in the middle of the night and someone trashed their furniture, you'd be thinking, yeah that sucks and people need to be punished, but what kind of mutton head leaves the front door open in the middle of the night?
May 15, 200422 yr just because she pissed you off specifically doesn't mean she should get lifethat's a good sentance, 5 years is a frigging long time
May 15, 200422 yr Author well ok put it this way he should atleast be accounted for the billions of dollars in damages don't you think?
May 15, 200422 yr And how would they pay it?If only they'd put there skills toward something beneficial...

His only real hope is to go into business for himself or get a job from friends or family if he intends a high tech career. N'a, if he tried to get a job in the High Tech career, as an anti-virus programmer...They'd take him in a heart beat. Just like the major hackers of the world are usually hired by big companies interested in anti-hacking software; trying to patch holes and what-not..
May 15, 200422 yr Leaving the door open is a bad analagy. It wasn't the user who left the door open, it was microsoft.Sasser is just like Blaster, it propigates itself over the internet exploiting holes in the the Windows OS. No file is voluntarely downloaded or opened by the user.... it sneaks itself onto your drive. Thankfully, Microsoft has been good about closing the holes of these two viruses quickly. Then you can say those who don't get the updates are leaving their door open.But those who were victomised at the moment the virus hit the net before the update existed.... you can't say it's their fault.Crashing computer systems can seriously mess with peaple's lives. What if it crashed a system that mailed out paychecks? My checks are auto deposited. If some bastard made a virus that crashed one of the computers and got my pay lost on the internet, myself and my family would be royally F'd! That's not just me, but my wife, and two children that are affected by such a virus.Let's not forget the extra work I have to put in at work now because of these viruses. Every single computer that was made pre-blaster I now have to make sure has Stinger installed on them to remove Blaster because push comes to shove, the stupid redneck who get's the computer will be too ignorant to put up his firewall and get his windows updates (And I try to explain to these peaple how to do it, and 9 times out of 10 I'm back at their house in 24 hours removing the damned worm!) I can't update them at work, because the DSL line we have is a closed company network. And the restore disks I am forced to use to fix major OS problems restore the damn computers to their factory settings with all the damn security holes open.Any bastard smacktard who puts that kind of crap on the internet deserves whatever the law throws at them. And what sucks, is they make MY work harder and yet they're the ones who end up making much more money than me after their meager sentence of 5 years.There's no justice in this world.
May 16, 200422 yr i was affected by that WORM!!!! and i hated it! it pissed me off so bad that i was thinking of reinstalling my OS!!! i think he shd get lifetime. Bizarre, because we have gave you the link to get the virus tool like from Symantec with their "fix-sasser.exe" program for to not format your hd, because if you have only reinstalled the os, the worm stay in standby too. Do you want that i send to you all "fix-tool" for "Windows32" for all existant worms on your e-mail ? Egidio.
