Computer Virus Creator Offered Six Figured Job in Prison

Tired of your dead end job? Looking to make six figures but don’t know how? Well, one approach might be to create China’s most destructive computer virus. That’s what this guy did and he’s already been offered jobs from 10 different companies while he’s in jail.

I guess skill does outweigh most other criteria for some jobs. I don’t know about you, but I don’t think I’d want to hand my computer network over to a guy who was convicted of destroying computer networks. Maybe it’s just me, but that sounds like a bad idea.

File that under two wrongs make a right?

    Jail should be a place of rehabilitation.

    Employment offers to inmates, such as you described, should be actively encouraged. Such employment offers will assist this man to get back on his feet and reintegrate into society upon being released from prison.

    More seriously, it’s not just you. I certainly wouldn’t entrust my company’s computer networks to such an individual either.

    These people must be mad.

    Cheers
