Computer Virus Writers Mostly Obsessed Males -- Expert
Tue Mar 18, 3:17 AM ET Add Technology - Reuters to My Yahoo!

By Jennifer Tan

SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Male. Obsessed with computers. Lacking a girlfriend. Aged 14 to 34. Capable of sowing chaos worldwide.

That is the profile of the average computer-virus writer, an anti-virus expert said on Tuesday.

About 1,000 viruses are created every month by virus writers increasingly intent on targeting new operating systems, said Jan Hruska, the chief executive of British-based Sophos Plc, the world's fourth-largest anti-virus solutions provider. "So far, we've seen no indication of decreased interest in virus writing," Hruska told Reuters in an interview.
Is anyone surprised? I thought grandmas were the leading virus authors!!
