Poacher turned Gamekeeper

23 09 2004

I see according to BBC News that a German security firm has hired the guy that wrote both the Sasser and Netsky worms. It seems to be causing quite a stir in the IT Security industry (in the UK at least), who are claiming that in doing so, the company in question are glorifying virus writers, and are going to encourage more and more people to develop, in the hope of securing good jobs. Somehow, I don’t think this is likely however.

I wonder how many of the disgruntled people within the UK IT Security Industry, are black, turned white hat hackers?!
