The first example that they mention in this article is the story of Robert T. Morris. He was the son of a government computer security official. He created a worm (a program like a virus that can send info from a computer automaticly to another computer on the same network) and put it in government computers, not meaning any harm. In my opinion he was somewhat wrong because he created a worm, but he did however not intend to harm any computers with it, so it was not so bad. He was charged with three years probation, 400 houtrs of comunity service, and a 10,000 dollar fine.
