| The cure is worse than the disease |

Today's news is abuzz with talk of the first Pocket PC virus. Apparently the virus' author designed this proof-of-concept virus to alert everyone to Windows CE's vulnerabilities and to force Microsoft to take action and secure their OS better.
But given how easy it is for other virus writers to adapt new worms for their own purposes and then re-release them with a new payload, why does this guy think he's doing anyone any favors by distributing to the world what is essentially a new do-it-yourself virus kit?
The viruses being distributed by the spammers and the identity theft guys, those I can understand. They have a purpose, albeit a criminal one.
But this? Honestly, is this virus auther really that juvenile?
