When children attack

Security vendor AVG calls it a disturbing new trend: Children as young as 11 years old, designing and launching malware to steal, among other things, gaming passwords. The company said it recently reverse-engineered one piece of malware that turned out to be the handiwork of an 11 year-old Canadian boy. AVG is convinced this type of child coder is a real phenomenon, able to wield simple programming languages such as C# (C Sharp) and Visual Basic to carry out mostly attacks aimed at stealing game logins.”]
