Possibly it gives them the feeling of power that they lack in their personal life. They can't affect what happens to them day to day so they look for ways to inflict what power they do have onto others. A cheap thrill for cheap, base personalities. Just my opinion though. I caught the CIH virus on my first machine...I scan every e-mail and update the virus definitions constantly. Nothing like losing everything to make you cautious.

The line between good and evil is razor sharp. Be careful of misteps,
lest you find yourself spitted upon your own blade.
