Suspected 'Sasser' creator arrested in Germany
If this is the wrong forum I apologize to the moderators. Since this issue is 'sasser' related I posted this here. I was surfing on a MSNBC this morning when I noticed a catchy title 'sasser creator busted' The full story can be found here http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4928653/
It seems it was created by an 18 year old high school student. I was shocked when I saw this. He should get a job for Mircosoft.

Sasser author possibly caught....

The author of the Sasser Worm may have been caught.
An 18 year old student from northern Germany has been taken into custody and allegedly confessed to the authorities, that he is the author. Evidence has been confiscated from his parents home, where the student also lived. A further official statement is to follow later in the day.
