Hello, The german IT security company "Securepoint" has hired Sven Jaschan, who wrote and spread the Sasser Internet worm, which caused widespread and costly damages to legions of Windows computers. He will work as a developer for security softwares such as firewalls. This is a scandal! Whether or not you like the 250k USD head-hunting bounty which Microsoft Corp. paid to have Mr. Jaschan nailed, he is still a criminal. Hiring him is a taboo. It is totally unacceptable to picture him as a modern age Robin Hood or freedom fighter. He is a criminal, similar to an arsonist, who sets a house alight and the fire spreads to an entire city. I urge all to boycott the Securepoint and I urge those who suffered losses due to the Sasser worm to sue Securepoint and seek damages. VXing must end and we must send a strong message to teenagers that cracking is not hacking and will not be tolerated.
