While Linus will not contact some of the windows virus, Linus is not immune

While technically speaking this is a website not a message board, I think we can take it as having the same meaning here.

Lets ask Soyl a member here and a mod on TR, about him trolling and posting viral links that lead to keyloggers etc. IE win 32 and others. so much so that even his pals on The ranter had to post warnings about his activities.

Even The Ranter has a tracking nasty on it and Soyl has repeatedly posted links to it.

Lets ask Soyl about all the hacking attempts made on members PC's Numbering in the hundreds. in the last few months.  

Ignoring your obscene hard-on for dogpiling on a member who has mental problems just so you will look good to your peers. As a mod I would have expected better from you, and an inquiry into why Soyl is allowed to troll this forum so blatantly in violation of the rules. How many times has he been warned?

Tricking some one into giving you their password is obviously not the same as hacking intentionally by putting a keylogger on his PC.


Tricking anyone into downloading a tool or program that allows you to hack into their PC by deception is hacking and is illegal, as opposed to social engineering whereby you trick someone into giving you their password. this is what I presume you were talking about. These are different issues. The operative word here is "INTENT" if you clearly set out to do harm by Hacking then this is illegal and tricking a fellow member into putting a KL on their PC should result in sever action being taken against the perpetrator.

In some ways true, but my response was to this statement:

The question was whether someone believed that a person from these boards was actively hacking a members PC and my post was to prove this was possible and indeed was being attempted by another member. Many of the members here I would assume are running windows and they are at risk from the viral links posted by a member.

While Linus will not contact some of the windows virus, Linus is not immune, as is proven by the availability of anti virus programs for Linux like clamAV.
Even Mac systems are not completely safe, indeed some virus targeted specifically towards Mac systems are being developed currently.
