That's a good defensive strategy, so before you hack anyone install netbus
on your computer so you can blame some mysterious person for hacking through 
your computer.

Subject: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] Hackers defense: The computer did it


Here is something related to the "scan my network and die" thread we had
going on earlier this week. What do you guys think about this defense?
:-)

SAN FRANCISCO, California (Reuters) -- Prosecutors looking to throw the
book at accused computer hackers have come across a legal defense
expected to become even more widespread in an era of hijacked PCs and
laptops that threatens to blur the lines of personal responsibility: the
computer did it.
