Good morning to everybody. Maybe I have not explained myself well. My problem is not that they are children or adults, my problem is that there are hackers, and they do what they want, they even own ips in RIPE, and there is no way to do anything, that is the problem that affects us. The question for me is if we are going to remain motionless or if we are going to act together to counter the situation. The good ones are tied hand and foot, and the bad ones have free field to disturb at ease.

Many times we have hackers perfectly located, many are kids with a lot of ability to annoy, but little to protect themselves (we often find them in forums)
If many hackers are kids, we don't have legal problem, but we fail as society. I think it's beyond the scope of the WG to address this problem. But I do feel, that states need to also take care of children that show talent in cyber matters. We do it for athletes, making sure these kids can spend their energy in sorting competition rather than some destructive behaviour. Cyber Criminals are good at spotting and fostering talent in foras. No on get's up in the morning and say, gosh today I become a cyber criminal. Best Serge -- Dr. Serge Droz Chair of the FIRST Board of Directors https://www.first.org
