LOL....I saw his picture today on the news. What a Goofy lookin bastard.

I aint against people making progs like 'Blaster' so long as it's only experimental and only for test use on their own systems.However when they decide to let their tragically angst ridden little egos loose on the world then they should be locked up(amongst other punishments ). Unfortunatly the little sods get great jobs as soon as theyre released.
So who believes in Karma now?

Wake up the net doesn't belong to you.

This is our world now... the world of the electron and the switch, the
beauty of the baud. . We explore... and you call us criminals. We seek
after knowledge... and you call us criminals. We exist without skin color,
without nationality, without religious bias... and you call us criminals.
You build atomic bombs, you wage wars, you murder, cheat, and lie to us
and try to make us believe it's for our own good, yet we're the criminals.

Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is
that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like.
My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me
for.

I am a Senior Member , and this is my manifesto. You may stop this individual,
but you can't stop us all... after all, we're all alike.

lol, love it!
anyways, as stated before, the group finding the bug acted responsible and mr. Sobig-virii-spreader here acted like a f***** ****. But why does he deserve a wellpaid security job for taking a code and adding a RAT (Remote Administrative Tool, couldn't come up with anything better) or whatever to it? I just know I would NOT have hired him, but if you guys would then it's probably ok for some reason, uh, why?

the "creator" or author rather of the blaster worm has in fact not been caught. the kid they arrested was just a kid who made a modified copy of it and released it. the original author has not been caught.

[r8devil]

they are not gonna catch the original author so easily. most of the virus writers that are any good are not gonna be in the US.

This guy just took the original virus and made some small changes.

[tonybradley]

Not only did they not yet CATCH the real Blaster worm creator, but they seem to have betrayed this kid.

The original worm infected roughly 1 million computers from the last estimate I heard. This kid's tweaked variant infected about 7000. The FBI enlisted his help a couple week's back to try and help nab the true creator of the worm.

It seems that after two fruitless weeks they got antsy and word came down from the top to just arrest the kid and make an example of him. Supposedly he was never read his rights and was told repeatedly that he didn't need a lawyer and had nothing to worry about.

Here is an article about it on MSNBC.com: Worm suspect says case against him exaggerated
