The author of one of the Blaster worm’s variants was arrested Friday. Many sources are reporting it, but this is the article I read.
My favorite part of the story is how this big dummy got caught. Apparently his modification of the worm’s code was to have the infected machines register themselves, supposedly so he could use them to coordinate an attack at a later time. But he needs a central place for them to all submit their information, and what better place then your own website? (www.t33kid.com , note the l33t speak) Of course though the web site is registered to this guy’s dad, and what a proud moment that must have been for him when the F.B.I. came a knockin’.
Let this be a lesson to all you other criminals; if you are going to commit a crime, don’t leave a calling card with your name and home address at the scene.
