For supporting evidence, see the last New Yorker.  Author spends some
time with some hackers and accidentally sets a virus loose on her
machine.  Fun, fun...

Subject: Sub7 Incidents

At first I puzzled at what could be causing the mass outbreak.  There is

talk about a S7 linux client and I fear the development of a linux
server is 
next.  Just what we all needed.  Anyway, the new movie Operation:
Swordfish, 
just came out.  I don't know if you remember what happened after Hackers

came out.... but it is the whole media domino effect.  All these new
people 
online are saying "Hey let's go hack someone cuz it looks funny".  Just
my 
opinion.
