Talk:Brain (computer virus)

January 2006
I removed this sentence from the article, simply because it's not grammatic:


 * the brothers were first one in pakistan to introduce internet in 1995

No Lawsuits Nor Prosecution?
There is no mention in the article of any lawsuits against the brothers. Nor do they seem to have been prosecuted criminally for public mischief. This seems odd. Surely the danger of what they were doing was obvious from the beginning. If we suppose that they were acting innocently doesn't this suggest a culpable level of carelessness? Careless or delinquent, aren't they liable either way for the damage caused by their behaviour? If they were neither prosecuted nor sued, this seems to me an instance of "the dog didn't bark" being an important piece of information missing from the article. No?

Current Web Site
The link at the bottom of the article for the web site for Brain in Lahore, Pakistan is on a wayback machine. I checked that page, stepping forward with the date utility, and the original page disappeared and was replaced by a 404 page after April 2006. I did a web search and I turned up a lot of hits that were not the original company, and this one that does seem to be the same people: http://www.brain.net.pk/

Note that the only difference about this URL in the link at the bottom of the article is that /aboutus.htm is omitted, so I believe that this is the main page of the web site. Now we are viewing index.html or similar Apache default starting page.

There is no History or About section; this seems to be what was deleted in 2006, not the web site itself. I'll check back in a few weeks and if no one objects, I'll update the link. -- motorfingers : Talk 07:04, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
