Spyder: The Mrs. O'Leary's Cow Of Hackers
By: Bruce Sterling

I'M STARTING to get a nice triangulation on Spyder and his Love Bug.
This clown whacked half the Fortune 500, choked Congress and
Parliament, and infested something akin to half a million computers.
All so he could nick some passwords. This kid is the Mrs. O'Leary's
Cow of hackers. It's like he burned down Chicago while trying to light
his crack pipe. "i hate go to school suck ->by:spyder @Copyright (c)
2000 GRAMMERSoft Group >Manila,Phils." It's sitting there right in the
source code. But that's got to be fake, right? Only an utter idiot
would sign and copyright a virus. Well, I'm betting that signature is
the McCoy. He signed it because he never thought it would work so
well.
