I didn't get it. Vulnerabilities are 'discovered' and 'exploited' -- viruses, on the other hand, are 'created'. Hence, the analogy to what HC mentioned in the preceding message would be: "Next thing you know, anti-virus companies will be paying people to *CREATE* viruses." ...which is, as far as I know, merely one of the many unconfirmed rumours people exchange by the water fountains.
