I really hope the Fed goes after Microsoft for not taking care of this
20 years ago when they first knew that viruses were a problem on their
platforms, and the people who fail to take preventative measures (like
keeping up to date on patches and their virus scanner, if they even
run MS OS's to begin with), with the same veracity that they go after
the virus writers themselves and other net terrorists.  I think the
charges that would apply would be criminal negligence in the case of
Microsoft, and aiding and abetting in the case of the infectees.  Make
'em all fry.
