Maybe someone would give me a job if I crashed the Internet.

1.) The job is with some shitty no-name Australian firm
2.) The kid didn't write the code
3.) /prog/ is not reddit.

I like better the story of the little twat from Eurloand who demanded €5 or something to instruct people how to download MobileTerminal to issue su, passwd, and chmod to allow his victims to change the wallpaper where he wrote his ransom.
Hours after the story broke he pissed himself, removed the paypal link, and apologized. What a small-timer. With hackers like these, no wonder macs are so safe.

who said anything about reddit?

>>3 did.

Not surprising, since they're the ones who know the most about the systems. It's similar to how many antivirus companies hire ex-VXers.

What is a VXer?

yeah, i read about this.
turns out the "virus" was a buggy piece of shit that did nothing more than check for default passwords.
lame.

This is what a typical wanna-be hacker thinks qualifies as a virus.  Usually they will try to write shit like this in VB6 too.
