Since when do hackers code virii in VB? Even if they need to code something malicious to be put on the target system, the code must be portable, which means that the code can be transferred from one language to another for more OS support & less incident dependant.
And as many mainframes run a *nix system, how are they supposed to run VB code easily on those servers...
Also coding a virus and hacking are way too different things.
