Virus
authors are all sorts of people—professionals, students, or just pranksters.
They could be bored, curious, mean, rebellious, or just attracted to the
rush of causing damage. They are usually male, between the ages of
15 and 23 years old, and may be involved in a virus-writing organized group.
Most really don’t know why people would want to create viruses and let
them create so much damage.
