Instead, industry leaders have roundly criticized the plan. "It legitimizes the creation of destructive code and provides justification for virus writers to do their work," says Robert Vibert, administrator of the Antivirus Information and Early Warning System and the Antivirus Information Exchange Network. Both organizations help antivirus researchers and virus fighters share information about new and emerging threats." Interesting to see such a controversial move being taken by the university in my home town. What do you think? Is there value in this approach, or is it just asking for trouble? __________________ Want to contact me personally? Use this. Want to read my personal blog? Check it out.
