It Just Never Made Sense
There are many things that boggle my mind when it comes to the world of viruses, the biggest one always is; the person creating the virus is an incredibly intelligent person, why can’t they do something good with their talents and time. Of course, I know the answer, money. It is an incredibly efficient way to make a lump sum of cash in a hurry, after all they are not the ones infecting PC’s or even the ones collecting the passwords and socials, and they simply sell the program to people who do the dirty work. They actually sound like drug lords when you hear it that way, and in some respects they are the modern age drug lords. They do very little work, get paid very well, and are still in charge of something highly illegal that the average person wishes would go away. Just like the drug issue, governments have special departments that are tasked solely on bringing down cyber terrorists, and when they do it’s a great day, but there are so many of them it’s impossible to break the system.
