Summary: The Canadian author states that hackers have been changing their ways and have been trying to send out viruses through other sources other than e-mail. Apparently there has been several attempts of putting viruses out through false links on YouTube. Hackers are realizing that not only has anti-virus software is getting better but the average computer user is becoming more wary about what they open up. So they have been working on spreading their ilk in other ways.
Reaction: I feel uneasy about all this. I thought I was ok about viruses and now after reading this I'm growing concerned. Now just a simple act of clicking on a YouTube video just to watch a video that looks interesting could be a horrible down fall. I don't like looking over my shoulder constantly and now it seems like there's no end to it. It makes me wish hackers had lives actually and would be at least constructive with their work.
