"People have sent us their virus code when they're trying to develop their virus and they keep crashing their systems," Rocky Heckman said. "It's amazing how much stuff we get."
that needs to be fixed, MS should just have code built into the OS where they can just lock out any microsoft specific MS software (MS-OS/MS-games/MS-office) that the hacker is using and a following pop up should appear when that happens to " please contact microsoft at ph# 1-888..."
and while the jerk is trying to get their software unlocked on the phone have the local authorities swing by and pick up the jerk and his comp for and nail the guy to the wall for breaking the lisc. agreement for starters, just to make it legal while they question the jerk & search the jerk's comp for evidence. it would certainly fix all the noobs and cut down on the problem probably by 1/2, more important it would leave a record of who does what and a way to track them down if they continue that bad behaviour later on. rather big brotherish, but talk to president hoover about it, 'cuz that's how the FBI rolls and other countries are alot worse. code writing is very descriptive, just as any ones finger prints are, what we say and how we say it/do it in writing things down is pretty identifiable to the trained eye. the FBI already uses computer software to track down key phrasing in letters and email, adapting it to code reading would make things easier.
i know there's going to be alot of hate comming for saying this, but 'MALICIOUS hackers' are just slightly below murderer's and pedo's in my book. hacker's that mess with things just to see how they work and fix something to work, or work better; aren't a dangerous problem, but the ones that mess with monentary accounts or say jack up the power grid or military stuff.....GGRRRRRrrrr!
