Time to update the mental computers. Recent news bytes oblige us to abandon some long-held ideas about the Internet. Reality 2000 looks like this.
Hackers 2000: Investigators claim to have unraveled the mystery of the Love Bug virus and the culprit(s) appear to be young Filipino computer enthusiasts. The long arm of the law has fingered Onel A. de Guzman and some of his pals, fellow students at the AMA Computer College in metro Manila.
De Guzman sort of admitted that he is responsible for the virus, which is said to have caused billions of dollars in damage to computers around the world. "It is possible" that he accidentally sent out the virus, but he isn't sure. He claims that he was sniffing around for passwords to use the Net for free. "The Internet is supposed to be educational, so it should be for free."
