Suitable Punishment for a Virus Creator?

[VikingBerserker]

How do you think we should punish those who create computer viruses?

 

[rudeguy]

sit them in a room with Notfred and Moonbeam for a couple hours

Jail time and fines?

LOL executing them would be more "humane"

Sometimes viruses can be good.Many of them often become sharware programs in time.

Head of an underbudgeted and misunderstood InfoSec department at a fortune 500 firm?

I'd guess that, too.

I'm stunned at the number of fortune 500 customers I've had that weren't patched.

One had 12,000+ infected computers running NT4 SP5. The patch requires SP6, which has only been out for, what, four years or so?

They're in for a long day/week.

Another great question, I vote for the notfred and moonbeam penalty.

Didn't you forget something? Cruel and unusual perhaps?

Reward for showing us just how crappy Windows is.

I'd inject them with a very bothersome yet not fatal human virus. I'm all for cruel and unusual punishments.

Now if only they could create a virius that made them reboot :Q

Sit them down and make them debug WinME. When they are finished, they can go home.
