In case you are thinking of testing your skills by writing a virus, it would be wise
to take elementary precautions to make it a little harder for them to trace it
to you. Many people don't realize that documents you create may inadvertantly
carry identifying info from your machine.

It's also not too smart to boast about your exploits.

Well maybe but he will after all still have to go to jail, there are easier ways to get highly paid jobs.
