[QUOTE="upnorth, post: 823772, member: 38832"] Now that's what I personal would call a honest, good and also very friendly opinion. You for sure have gained one extra plus in my book of respect but, I actually partially agree with you on some points. The Hacking landscape have changed the last 20 years ( give or take a year or two ), a small good overview is [URL='https://malwaretips.com/threads/top-5-viruses-of-all-time.93619/']shown here[/URL], and yes nowadays is absolutely about money, Big Money! Yes, it is a very fair question and especially when some sad people just love to spam it ( Not you [USER=72227]@Raiden[/USER] ) and start scream like spoiled children if questioned, but them self 100% ignore everything and is much rather plain rude and offensive.
