It's been 25 years since the first PC virus (Brain A) hit the net, and what was once an annoyance has become a sophisticated tool for crime and espionage. Computer security expert Mikko Hyppönen (F-Secure ; Chief Research Officer) tells us how we can stop these new viruses from threatening the internet as we know it.

Very good video.
Definitely their is a need for a serious international law enforcement agency who can fight these cyber criminals.There are a lot of $$$ on the internet so there always gone be someone who will want to take advantage......
Loved the part where Mikko Hyppönen analyzed the exploit and found the license plate number of the creator of that malware , talking about "show-off" :p

Great video and as much as I agreed with him there isn't exactly anything we can do besides prevention and being aware.
