17岁女黑客 病毒写宣言
2002年消息:据英国索佛斯计算机网络安全公司(Sophos)透露,一名自称是17岁少女的黑客声称她编写了一个专门针对微软.NET网络服务平台的新型蠕虫病毒,有趣的是,这名黑客编写这个蠕虫病毒的目的只是要证明女人同样可以制造计算机病毒。这名黑客还专门发表了一份反对大男子主义的声明。
据索佛斯计算机网络安全公司的技术顾问克里斯—莱特(Chris Wraight)称,这名黑客编写的蠕虫病毒名为“Sharpei“,据信这是第一种用“C—sharp”语言编写的蠕虫病毒,“C—sharp“语言是用来运行.NET平台的编程语言。莱特表示,“她只是希望这个蠕虫病毒能够引起人们对一个社会问题的关注,但这名黑客认为目前还没有女性病毒编写者,这显然是有悖于事实的。”据悉,这名黑客编写的“Sharpei”病毒已是第二个针对微软.NET平台的病毒了。美国微软公司则表示,这个新的蠕虫病毒部分代码是用VB编写的。
莱特还透露,这名黑客的网名是“Gigabyte",她曾给莱特发送过一封电子邮件,邮件里面附带着这个蠕虫病毒的样本,“Gigabyte”称,她之所以选择C—sharp语言编写这个蠕虫病毒是因为C—sharp语言是一种新语言,使用起来很有趣,但她并不想让这个蠕虫病毒传播开来。莱特称,这个蠕虫病毒主要通过Outlook电子邮件传播,邮件的主题是“Important: Windows update",邮件带有一个病毒附件,如果它打开附件,病毒就会自动向地址簿中的地址发送病毒副本。“Sharpei”蠕虫病毒能够自动检测计算机是否含有.NET技术使用的文件,如果有,病毒就会感染特定的文件。由于它目前还没有扩散开来,因此感染这一病毒的风险较低。
2004年消息:比利时警方逮捕了一名绰号为“Gigabyte”的女学生,她在国际上因编写计算机病毒而臭名昭著。警方以蓄意破坏计算机数据为罪名起诉了她,如果罪名成立,她将被判3年监禁和10万欧元的罚款。但据说警方在24小时后释放了她,没收了她的5台电脑,关闭了她的网站。
计算机犯罪科的检察员说Gigabyte是一个天才学生,“我跟她说,她没能正当使用自己的技能真是一个大损失。”Gigabyte由于她的年龄和性别在计算机黑客世界中很有名气。网站www.techtv.com在2002年采访她时,她为自己的工作进行了辩护。她说她只是编写了那些病毒,但从未传播过或在网站上发表过。
