| iago | [quote]f you're on a P2P network, you could be bumping up against all the worms and viruses carried by other users of that network. And you could become a carrier of worms and viruses that are written by misanthropic hackers specifically to spread via popular P2P networks. [/quote] Wait, are they for or against p2p? Aren't they on the same side as the people they are calling misanthropic? | February 20, 2004, 8:04 PM |
| Hitmen | [quote] TWENTY THREE BILLION DOLLARS [/quote] Talk about pulling numbers out of your ass. I'm sure the FBI knows of every song, movie, software or game title downloaded last year. | February 20, 2004, 8:34 PM |

It wasn't that bots were bad, its that bots carried viruses, trojans, and so forth. "Download a bot; acquire a virus!" So now the FBI is trying to make people afraid of P2P networks using the same tactics? | February 20, 2004, 9:06 PM |

Anyone who'll be scared away by such tactics probably doesn't share too many worthwhile things as it is. More bandwidth for the rest of us. ;) | February 20, 2004, 10:32 PM |

No idea why, though. | February 21, 2004, 1:05 AM |

| Newby | [QUOTE]A person using P2P utilities for unauthorized or illegal purposes is not as likely to tell the FBI that an exploit (back door) was found on their system, or that as a result, certain personal or financial information may have been taken[/QUOTE] Hmm, I wonder why. | February 25, 2004, 1:17 AM |
