Bet he's regretting it now. He's 18. It's not going to look great on his first CV.

Maybe, but would you really want to employ someone with such a serious lack of judgement? Supposed you ****ed him off. Would he trash your comps?

i wouldnt fancy the jail term though

Caspar · 08-05-2004, 11:41

I'd do a few years in min security if I'd come out and get employed as a security consultant

abailey152 · 08-05-2004, 11:42

I hope he gets what he deserves.......
........and that's not a new job with money and respect!

He should be put to work for the length of his "jail term", and every penny he would have made should go to charity, or helping victims of crime.

And how long would you keep him for anyway - there's always someone better round the corner.

I see M$ is putting some of its huge cash pile to good use by paying out $140,000 rewards to those who grassed up this idiot. Nothing like filthy lucre to loosen tongues. I hope the virus writers get put away for a long time. This is an excellent opportunity to show them, and the rest of their lot, that virus writing can destroy lives and livelihoods, and isn't just a bit of harmless Sunday afternoon geek fun.
