6类顶级黑客大盘点

????脚本小子

????身份：无聊的年轻人

????目的：寻求刺激，博得恶名

????目标：容易下手的对象，比如没有保护措施的网站和电子邮件账户

????特征：丑化或破坏网站

????经典案例：2001年，一封主题为“我爱你”的电子邮件把人们弄得晕头转向——包括一些五角大楼的人。这封信含有来自菲律宾的病毒，它在破坏文件的同时进行自我复制，在收件箱里扎根。所谓的“爱虫”所引起的数据破坏和生产力损失估计高达100亿美元。

????5. Script Kiddie

????Who: Bored youth

????Objectives: Thrills, notoriety

????Targets: Low-hanging fruit such as unprotected websites and e-mail accounts

????Signature: Defacing or dismantling websites

????Classic Case: An e-mail subject-lined I LOVE YOU duped people -- some of them inside the Pentagon -- in 2001. The virus it contained, which originated in the Philippines, destroyed files and simultaneously replicated itself, seeding in-boxes as it went. The so-called Love Bug caused an estimated $10 billion in digital damage and lost productivity.
