While I know this is evil, I can't help but laugh a little. The Associated Press is reporting that hackers broke into the Epilepsy Foundation's Web site and bombarded it with hundreds of pictures and links to pages with rapidly flashing images. Some people who viewed the images had severe migraines and near-seizure reactions.
The part I find hilarious isn't that epileptics had seizures while trying to learn how to control seizures, but a quote in the story given by Paul Ferguson, a security researcher at antivirus software maker Trend Micro Inc. who commented on this malicious act. Paul says, "I count this in the same category of teenagers who think it's funny to put a cat in a bag and throw it over a clothesline."
What the fuck Paul! I don't know anyone who has ever stuffed a cat in a bag, let alone thrown a kitty over a clothesline. Sounds like Paul is speaking from experience. What part of the South are you from? Stubb & Flask called Mr. Ferguson to allow him to clarify his remark. "What I meant to say was this horrible act is in the same category as men who like to place goldfish in the toilet when they have a stomach flu or after eating a super spicy burrito," said Ferguson.
Stubb & Flask downgrade Trend Micro to a sell. Not only does there antivirus software seem flawed, but it looks like they have a bunch of psychos working there.
