From this stupid article, Hackers learn from open source, it says that "hackers" are using cvs, the Concurrent Versions System, which is used widely in the open source world to share and manage their malicious codes.
Firstly, they made a very big mistake in that statement, hackers never write malicious codes, those who write malicious codes are called crackers. Since programmers and developers in the open source community often proudly refer themselves or their counterparts as hackers, this mistake might bring down the image of the true contibutors to the free software community.
Secondly, hackers don't learn from the open source development model, they actually created it. Those who need to learn are the crackers.
Thirdly, I would say it is a good thing if those crackers actually share their codes with the world, in that case, those working at the antivirus/anti-malware/anti-phising department will be able to easily peep into their codes and find solutions even before the malwares work. Oh, they don't share their codes with those in the anti-virus sector? Well, too bad... since they say those crackers are learning from the open source development model, I thought that they share with everyone... :P
Just to release my anger towards this type of irresponsible report.

Hahaha, you in love with GNU?
I can see that clearly, don't talk about something you don't know!!!
What do you mean by "something you don't know"? I would be glad if you can point out my mistakes.
