Looking for job? Write your own virus!
WWW still means more likely “World Wild Web” than anything else: Silicon.com has been contacted by an individual claiming to have written the Yamanner virus which targeted users of the Yahoo! webmail service earlier this week. The man claims to be from Iran and says he is just trying to find work by advertising his programming credentials. Sillicon adds: “While a number of antivirus experts who have seen the email claim it is quite likely the sender is indeed the culprit, there is no sure-fire way of confirming this. However, one added that whether or not the man in question wrote the Yamanner worm it is certainly “an unusual way to try to land a job”.
The email, sent from a webmail address, stated: “I don’t like to disturb no one. I am from Iran. I just looking for good job in good computer company and I wrote this worm only to prove that I have some abilities in web programming.” I’m not sure whether this can have a success, and once again, there’s no way how to prove whether is this mail from real author of Yamanner. However, it is an approach which has proven successful in the past when Sven Jaschan, who wrote the Sasser virus, landed a job with German security company SecurePoint on the back of his notoriety. Are you looking for job? Now you know the right way how to get a good position…

Interesting. Should pyromaniacs be hired by the fire department if they can’t put out the fires they start?
This is a smart way to get a job since everyone can immidialty see how good you are at programming.
i dont think this is the “smart” way of landing a job….personally i think this is the LAZY IRRESPONSIBLE and IMMATURE way of showing off someone’s skills just to get a job. think of all the people affected by his stunt, and he says “don’t like to disturb no one”….totally stupid. IMO
