LOVE BUG âWORMâ; HACKERS âTWITSâ
The International Society of Computer Hackers blasted the media yesterday for continually using the word âvirusâ when referring to the âLove Bugâ email that recently infected computers. The program was more accurately a âworm,â not a virus, said the hacker group, adding that âignorant journalistsâ should check their facts. In response, the Society of Professional Journalists thanked the hackers, who it said will now be referred to by the more accurate term âslovenly misanthropic twits.â
