I just went through a month of problems with my system due to a virus and it was hell! Dell kept referring me to Microsoft; Microsoft referred me to my DSL provider; they directed me to AOL - it was a circus. Everytime I think of these hackers and people who have nothing better to do than mess with other peoples property and create problems for probably thousands or millions of people, I think they should be locked up. In the case with ebay he stated "he didn't even mean to do that"!. Well, when he got the message that he was the new owner of the domain - didn't that ring a bell. Did he report anything? LOCK THEM ALL UP... No matter what country they are in. Kid or not.
