OK, if Childs is behind this, fry him: if he isn't, fry them.

Finjan reported Wednesday that the city of San Francisco Web site was one of 
over 1,000 sites treating visitors to malicious code. Vulnerable users got a Trojan 
loaded onto their machines that tries to join them to the Asprox botnet, a smaller 
botnet that began expanding in May. The SFgov site is apparently fixed. The 
deputy director of San Francisco’s department of telecommunications and 
information services said the city detected and fixed the problem. He said SFGov 
was vulnerable over the last weekend in June. He does not know how many people 
visited the site, but said no city employees’ machines were affected.
