From the start I want to stress that I do not advocate anyone’s going out and infecting an innocent party’s computer system with a malicious virus designed to destroy valuable data or bring their system to a halt. That is not only wrong, it is illegal. If you do that, you could wind up in jail or find yourself being sued for millions.
