Yeah, you're right Mikey, they have clubs, they even have national conventions for hackers. If it's illegal to do, than it should be illegal to have a convention to discuss techniques and the latest innovations. If the police got wind of a national convention for bank robbers or counterfitters, you can be sure they'd be on them like a rash. These conventions are covered by the main networks.:curse:
I also have recently seen a sharp increase in spam, at my Yahoo address, at my regular address and of course, here. I even get it at an address that only me and my ISP know about. I always wonder how far these people would go doing real work, they'd probably do a lot better than most of us, given their talent.
