Virus Writing Class?
Security companies don’t seem too thrilled with a computer course offered by a California college that teaches students how to write computer viruses. Thanks to Dan for the link.
Per the story, a computer science professor at Sonoma State University in California is teaching the course in order to train his students how to design better defenses. Security companies, on the other hand, have always vigorously decried any attempts to create new malware as automatically unethical, no matter the end goal.
