Kids Concoct Computer Codes
According to BBC Tech News, http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-21371609 children as young as 11 years old are writing malicious computer code to hack accounts on gaming sites and social networks.
Researchers found many instances of malware targeting games popular with children.
They found that the malware was used to steal the data and send it to a specific email address.
A report from antivirus company AVG detailed evidence of computer programs written by children. They are used to “steal” game related virtual currency.
I bet the victims really got hacked off.
Hmmm…
Young kids are now into hacking,
It’s ethics that they are lacking.
They steal secret code and data,
To the kids it doesn’t matter.
They write their malicious code,
Looking for the mother lode.
They hack friends to steal their money,
To the victims it isn’t funny.
What to do, we do not know,
So the hacked in data flows.

Humorous Interludes by Ron Yarosh 
Malware Machinations Make Many Miserable
The Great Guru of Gizmos says…
McAfee, a computer security firm, said they have added more than thirty million kinds of malware to its suspect database in the last twelve months (or a year whichever you prefer).
That’s one way to sell anti-virus software.
I wonder what the other security companies have found in the way of malware?
I hope you’re equipped with some kind of anti-virus software.
We are on the cusp of March. Beware of the ides.
Hmmm…
Malware is now on the rise,
To me it is not a surprise;
You’ll someday go wacky,
By some sneaky hacky,
It may cause your system’s demise.
