Can malware, malicious by definition, ever be a good thing? Surprisingly, there are law enforcement agencies that would answer yes. There are a growing number of hacking techniques involving malware deployed by governments around the world. Effectively they are using criminal tools, which they claim is a legitimate means to the ultimate, legitimate end – fighting crime, even going so far as deeming their use legal. I disagree. And I think it is a worrying trend generally – one that needs to be nipped in the bud.
