Computer virus creator prepares to receive viruses of his own
January 31st, 2005 at 10:09 am by Preston Taylor HolmesThe teenage author of the Blaster worm virus has been sentenced to 18 months in prison.
This virus-creating scoundrel will undoubtedly be learning how to download some new types of viruses during his incarceration, courtesy of a different kind of worm.
Jeffrey Lee Parson, 19, will spend 18 months in prison followed by a three-year supervised release program, and will be required to do 100 hours of community service, Judge Marsha Pechman ruled in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. In addition, Pechman on February 10 will determine how large a fine Parson will have to pay, according to a news release issued Friday by the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Washington.
Parson created the W32.Blaster-B worm in August 2003, a few days after the original worm was first set loose on the Internet. He pleaded guilty to the charges in August 2004. The creator of the original worm has not been identified.
Both worms took advantage of flaws in Microsoft’s Windows operating systems that allowed malicious hackers to take control of PCs. The Blaster worms instructed infected PCs to launch denial-of-service attacks on Microsoft’s Windows Update Web site on certain dates.
This computer geek certainly knows how to write viruses, but beyond that, doesn’t appear to be very bright.

Looks like that first girlfriend won’t quite go the way he thought it would.

He has to learn about love at some point. Why not incarceration-style? Perhaps once he finds love, he won’t want to continue committing computer crime.

I am glad to see them do this..I hate those bastards that write that stuff.

Or on the flip side he might not beable to sit down comfortablly infront of a computer anymore.

I think that punishments for virus makers should not be executed by authorities, but by ordinary users of computers who consider themselves inocent victimes.
The oranisation should be dispersable and quick-moving.
Having in mind that some f***ing jerk(s) went thorough entire complex painstaking bussiness of making a virus program just to hurt those who have nothing to do with their revange (or some other reason for making viruses), and also having in mind that they do not know what kind nor size of damage they can do to inocent people (e.g. if someone spend weeks, months, even entire years creating something, just to find out that it’s all gone because of someone’s “programming masturbation”, and that his/her painstaking work is forever annihilated), also having in mind that those virusemaking masturbating mongoloid idiots do not necessarily have to do all that stuff (and that there are other ways for them to do their spermy bussiness too, than harming inocent people (makinkg their point some other f***ing way)), I think that punishment for them should be in this order:
1. Reading (to the virusmaker(s)) complaints from victimes of the virus that idiot made
2. Connecting a computer with the actual data of the virus to a specialy constructed electronic-electric device that is to convert constantly repeated virus data signals into suitable voltage to cause extremely painfull electric shocks for a period of 100.000 cycles or more
3. Beating virusemaker to near death state
4. Cutting-off the head of the virusmaker
5. Smashing a freshly cutten-off head with extremely heavy object
(nobody made them do that crapy job of virusemaking anyway – so they deserve it)
Of course everiything should be recorded with a video camera and shown via Internet to make an open threat to those who plan to make viruses in the future (knowing what grim desteny surely awaits them).
Of course source of informations and the information itself should be checked, so executors would 100% know that the virusmaking excuse-for-person is 100% guilty.

There is no excuse for making a computer virus that harms inocent people!!!

Anything to add?
