Get yer anti-anti-virus virus here

In what some security geek calls a "classic verticalisation [don't bug me, the guy's a Brit] of a market as it starts to mature," BBC News reports:

Malicious hackers are producing easy to use tools that automate attacks to cash in on a boom in hi-tech crime....

Some of the most expensive tools are sold with 12 months of technical support that ensures they stay armed with the latest vulnerabilities.


Now there's a job for ya, Bunky: Doing tech support for the Dark Side. Might have a real future there. If this thing goes over really big Bill will steal it, have it re-written in Active-X, and build it into Windoze. The first self-hacking OS. (Come on, it's just business. Sell birth control pills and diapers both, you win either way.)
