how are virsuses created?

Question

who creates them?

Answer 1

Like any other application, a virus must be programmed. So they are created by programmers. Those programmers might be students (in grade school, in college, or even independent people who consider themselves students of the world), criminals, or troublemakers. Or all three at the same time.

People who create viruses have given various reasons: for fun, for destruction, for revenge, to see if they could do it, to see what would happen, or to use it for some specific purpose (like extracting sensitive data from business or government computers).

Answer 2

Hackers from all over the world, but mainly from China, Sweden, and Netherlands. They're well adept at computer programming and they create viruses and hacks with their free time... or they can get paid, I guess?

Answer 3

People create viruses for the same reason people climb Mount Everest. To prove to themselves or others that they can.

Answer 4

It's all about making money. Perhaps Eugene Kaspersky, founder of anti-virus maker Kaspersky Labs said it best, " It's a different world today. 10 years ago, we were fighting against smart kids who hacked as a hobby. Now, we're dealing with criminal gangs that control your computer to make money. Different world, different protections."
