Hi, Here's an interesting quote from John Schwarz, the COO of Symantec, in a Wired.com article from today: Just Say No to Viruses and Worms http://www.wired.com/news/infostructure/0,1377,60391,00.html "But perhaps the most controversial suggestion came from John Schwarz, president and COO of antivirus firm Symantec, who called for legislation to criminalize the sharing of information and tools online that can be used by malicious hackers and virus writers." As we all know, when it comes to discussing information about computer security vulnerabilities, it is difficult to separate security uses of this information and hacking uses of the same information. For example, if Symantec were to get this law passed, are they prepared to see their employees who work on the Bugtraq email list go to jail? ;-) Richard M. Smith http://www.ComputerBytesMan.com
