Comments on: Flawed code throttled spread of Zotob variants

Some versions contained coding errors that sent PCs into a reboot loop, instead of working to spread the infection, experts say.

Damn it

It's bad enough Windows has badly coded software, now we have to put up with poorly written viruses?! C'mon people! Get it together!

only.....

Only in the world of Microsoft product use can a crashing computer
be considered "lucky".... nice spin.
When will the lemmings learn.

HAHA

Looks like the virus writers code worst than Microsoft. When will someone with l33t skills come and save the day?? They keep blamming china and stuff.. they should look more in the USAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

The hackers were MS employees. You just can't get good help, it
seems. ; )

Mr. AT Alishtari, POA and Founder of EDI Secure LLLP, says that in a banner year for cybermafia victories that even attacked and took over one of his servers, the tricksters and spammers cannot always get it right. They probably make a lot more mistakes but since they act in camera, secret, we just don't know how human they are.

This opens up a whole range of thinking for the authorities. If these guys break in not as often as they seem which is all the time, then we might have a way of catching them. They don't know when they are really breaking in and virtual break ins and though they use cross machine robots and hiding behind screens no one is truly flawless.

Ultimately, they have to retreat data stolen and resell it. Somewhere in the loop has got to be a way to trace it forwards and backwards.

While doing that we also should keep as much public and private data offline by using now U.S. Commerce Department level 4 authentication using multi-factor authentication with offline devices as soon as possible.
