When the inmates run the jail

Network World Fusion 10/01/04

Dave Piscitello cannot believe that a German firewall vendor has hired the author of the Sasser and Netsky worms:

Everyone in the security community should be disappointed and opposed to SecurePoint's decision. Jaschan should be in jail, making license plates or clothespins, and contemplating the error of his ways. Instead, Securepoint is providing him a comfortable living and a fast track to repay the nearly $160,000 he owes for acts of computer sabotage. ...

Ask yourself: do you want Jaschan anywhere close to the source code for your firewall?

Earlier: Microsoft virus bounty leads to Sasser arrest. And: Sasser epilog.
