Guys, is knowingly sending a virus a crime?

[vegasisstilldead]

what do you think?

Yes, but "knowingly" is very hard to prove. Most of the time, it's just another infected computer-and there are a TON of them.

yes it is ... if a hacker is sending out malicious code to disrupt or harm the information systems of an organization such as the DOD, NAS will be all over his ass

if it is a couple of kids fooling around infecting a Outlook phone book email addresses, annoying but who cares
