[QUOTE="net1, post: 37505"] War of the worms The creators of the Netsky, MyDoom and Bagle e-mail viruses have taken to exchanging insults in what amounts to a war of words in computer code between rival hackers, USA TODAY reports. "It almost seems like they are playing a war of one-upmanship. They could be jealous over the media attention the others are getting," said Chris Belthoff, senior security analyst at anti-virus company Sophos Inc. The latest version of Netsky, dubbed Netsky.F, has a message in the code that says "Bagle ? you are a looser!!!! (sic)" and an earlier version says: "MyDoom.F is a thief of our idea!" Netsky.F also tries to deactivate earlier MyDoom and Bagle variants. Code in Mydoom.F, Bagle.I and Bagle.J addresses Netsky's creator directly, using expletives. One message tells Netsky: "don't ruine our bussiness, wanna start a war?" [/QUOTE]
