Just the other day the creators of the huge Zotob worm that we've all heard about were arrested. Turns out it was two people in Turkey that are 18 and 21 years old. This is a huge victory for the computer security field because most of the time these virus writers are never caught. It's also not surprising how young these virus writers are considering their generation grew up around computers.

Software makers (hint hint Microsoft, but not just Microsoft) need to step up their security features included in their software. Microsoft attempts to improve on this area, but they simply do not know how to efficiency implement it. For example, when Windows XP first came out, it included a firewall built-in, which was a good idea, but it was horribly implemented. The firewall was not turned on by default, which was pointless because the average users wouldn't know how to enable it.
