Just got an e-mail from a mate warning me about a 'Life is beautiful.' virus that started running on the net since this weekend i think.

the virus will aparently destroy your data and let the guy use you email ore something like that

question now has anyone experienced it yet or is this just some bullshit ??

another question why do people even make viruses :p There are enought enemies outside the internet users so why do we have ones on the inside ??

Edit:

Sorry i pressed enter accidently and it got posted with no texts. sorry again

Yup. Bullshit.

People make viruses because they can. Usually they are a means to an end though, as for example this thread. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/7.96800]

Making viruses is fun, I suppose. I don't have the knowledge or the want to waste my time on something that will probably get blocked by all the big firewalls and antiviruses within days, if not hours.

But I suppose it's really amusing to fuck with people. It's almost like trolling, but better. And, of course, it can have more criminal activities in mind... like leaking personal information, keyloggers and all that.

Meh, if I were doing it, I'd do it for the lulz.
Well ok i get the criminal side of it :D Hear a story of a guy that changed one banks softwere to automaticly send to his account any amount that was above 0 and below 10 cnets from every transactions so if you should get $1234,56 than you would only get $1234,50 thus the guy was undetecteble since nobody noticed 3 cents missing. i dont know how they find him but he had something like 2 m dollars in his current account :D

But im asking about the viruses that normal guys make. have a friend that had some hacking skills and once i wanted him to show me some tricks :p had to get a new OS cuz the guy went little to far messing up everything. the point here is why would you do that to someone if you dont even know the person. my friend used his skils to mess with people he didnt like or that pissed him of but thats understandable. if you have a problem with someone you fight him anyway you can.
im asking about those assholes that sit in their rooms all day writing a virus and then put them up just to mess up someones PC while he/she is writing something important for school work or job related stuff and suddenly gets a big fuck you :p i mean that creates bad names for all people using the net. and the argument that they can is bullshit to me it simply means that the guys have skills in program writing :p so why wont they write some useful stuff for others to enjoy?

on the other hand im the friendly net user so i dont get all the trolling spaming and and every other shit many asholes do :p
