They have to exaggerate so people will read it. Even people like you who will just criticize it.

and yeah, as a news writer, I say that's quite true, saying something more than.

"He used bot programs to use computers that weren't is to send spam."

Doesn't really sound all that good. I would have written that it hijackd computers against a user's will to send malicious spam to other users under a false alias.

my only argument is that they are using words exactly as if the article where terorist attacks. they are placed in the same level to sell and read.

it brings the panic and hipe up, and its just an article about a man who uses programs to send more spam.

don't get me wrong, i understand why they do it. but i think its getting ridiculous.

what's next - the terrorizing cat invades the neighbors private property and dumps toxic waste into it?

No, that would be something I would write... XD

More like "Local Paper Inflates Truth to extraordinary Proportions" XD

it is a hijack. It's using people's property without their concent to cause more annoyance.
