Creators of the gonner worm... caught!

Hey hey hey.. guess what?

4 Israeli kiddies were arrested. according to the Israeli cops that these kidds were the ones that created the "gonner" worm.

Yes boys and girls, they created the gonner worm.. kidds as young as 15-16. a kidd admitted that he created the worm and his 3 other mates admitted that they helped spread the worm..

it has been said that the worm was designed after the virus "Melissa," which caused millions of dollars of damage worldwide in 1999. but the gonner managed to remain undetected by anti-viruses and firewalls..

according to Israeli these kidds might be facing roughly 3-5 years in jail if convicted...

but.. was it really them who created the worm? or they're just doing this to be popular?

just like the kid in Philippines who said he created the I Love You virus.. coz i came from Phils and heck, it doesnt have the technology or inteligence to create a virus... and most of da ppl there are bullshit artists.. not that im degrading my mother land but its just the awful facts..

Bragging about viruses / worms is just stupid.

I hate the worms when causing trouble to a lot of harmless computernewbies.

When some major strike of worms is going on, my phone get warm red from the many panic calls from friends and family.

So I hope they get these guys and punish them...hard

I agree with VictorKaum they should be punished Hard. We lost most of our network for over a day when we got hit by Nimda. Of course nowadays it seems like anyone can write and distribute a virus.

The Melissa virus isn't done doing its damage yet. It's still on a rampage on my school's network. You would think they could get a virus under control if they had 2 YEARS to do it. They haven't even bothered to update their scanner definitions in over a year. It's really sad. I wonder if there are other schools out there that are this bad too...

hehe i 4got one lil thing... the article where i got the news..

http://www.cnn.com/2001/TECH/interne....ap/index.html

i don't know if these kids were the ones... just ask sebastos12... he hinted towards writing it, lol

teee hee hee hee..

hmm but investigations made showed that the worm started in europe...

and i recon Israeli are more patriotic to their country and if it was them, there should be signs that it was made from Israel...

well, i would like to let you know that "i love you virus" is made by aroud 40 people. a .vbs which was re-construction of mellisa virus. how come you say that philippines has no technology to make such task when you need is an editor, knowledge of scripting, an os and an internet account. if you make a scipt program would you have to use a supercomputer to make it run?!

oh, btw... those kids from israel is dumb. virus spreading is never been cool. if been system admin for almost 3 years now and still i hate those viruses. :P

i was born in phil and i don't think people there are bullshit artists...... youre just another flip man who's ashamed of their motherland!!!!!!! :mad: ..... flips might not have the advance technology like you have but when it comes to studying or learning and ****.. they don't take it for granted!!! so kiss my ass WHITE WASH!!!!!!!!!!

ok so u were born there.. big deal.. i grew up there and lived there for 16 years and i bet u dont know what its like to live in the back streets.. so trust me when i say most of the ppl there are bullshit aritsts...

why do u think the govt is corrupt?

i tried to save da freakin govt by exposing their currupt officials and what did they do in return? put me in the most wanted list for a murder crime that i have never did.. im juz a hacker, how can i kill someone?

and that kidd did say the HE did the luv bug.. which i know is a big lie.. know why? coz i know that kidd.. i taught him what he knows... and trust me he is the slowest learner i ever know..

Maybe Phantom2k made it somwhow! :D
Heh. Well, I find it hard to believe they might admit to the Goner if it means a 4-5 year sentence, especially if they're just looking for attention.

i think you're a damn liar!!!! you lived in PHIL for 16 yrs and you worked for the government for 2yrs!!!!!!! so lets try to do the math!!!!!! youre working for the government when you were 14 yrs old??????? you must be the smartest kid in PHIL!!!!

FACT: nobody can get a government JOB unless you know big people!!!! so COME CORRECT kid!!!!:flip: :flip: :shootem:

one more thing, in the phil the bill has yet to be passed that a hacking here is a crime, until it is approved that will be law! I think it has no law yet here that it is crime to hack?!

can you people tell me if i'm right?!

yep im right.. smiley is one of dem rich kidd who is perfectly oblivious to whats happening around them...

no im not the smartest kidd in PHIL but i am ONE of the smartest kidd in Phil.. wanna know how i got to serve the govt for 2 yrs?
simple.. me and my mates joined the junior police since we were 13.. childs play.. our performance was recognized and we were promoted as one of the seniors and trained for the Urban Assult Team.. we finished our training when i was 15 and started on the field since then. and u have no idea how much trash u can find in the govt. City Mayor of Cagayan De Oro city hid files of smugglers, a lawyer in ilo-ilo hid files of corupt congressmen in the senate.. city mayor of Cebu sponsored a child pornography website.. and there's more.. i handed in a list to the Military General of the PMA.. but he was preasured by President Ramos who was scared to cause national panic. and since i told them that i will expose them anyway how, they issued a shoot to kill order for me for murdering a politician which i never met b4 just to keep ne quiet.. and for that i left Phils..

but what can i expect from u? u dont know ****.. ur just a innocent civilian... and to prove to u that no one in phils is capable of making a virus.. if u can get hold of the list of the modules of Computer Science schools like STI and AMA, u can see that the programming skills are quite primitive. but u dont know that.. coz ur juz one innocent by stander that accepts whatever the govt and society says to u w/o even questioning if its true.

open your eyes and face the music smiley... but ur juz a civilian.. u only know 1/8 of what i know about phil society and govt.

aah what da heck am i arguing wid dis rich kid for?..
what i know is too much for dis person to comprehend anyway...
lil drummer boy here is juz a civilian.. barely knows what i know..

hehe cant teach an old dog new tricks..

Just curious but how hard is it to create a worm? I mean they say it was based on Melissa, is the source code availiable on the web and they just tinkered with it? My point being are these kids just really intelligent or just "lucky" that they managed to create something like the Goner worm?

Trying to read between the lines of this thread about the viruses and whatnot is rather hard when we have Sonic and Smiley going back and forth about stuff that doesn't pertain to security at all...please take that elsewhere, like /dev/null :D . I don't want to offend anyone but 'defending your country' != 'Miscellaneous Security Discussion'.

My opinion on this is some dumbass kids are gonna pay for something, if they did it or not....

O well , lets change topics cause this one got old after the first 3 post, you all keep saying the same thing in dif words
