Blaster Writer Caught

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the doing-the-time-for-doing-the-crime dept.

Henry V .009 writes "The FBI will be arresting an 18 year-old in connection with MS Blaster, reports The Washington Post." According to the article, the teen was witnessed testing the worm, and then turned in by a bystander. It's also worth noting that this is merely one of the Blaster variations. Hope whoever it was had fun, because a world of pain is waiting in store now.

    He may be in custody already. To actually arrest someone requires a warrant, but it is possible to hold someone without a warrant for limited time provided they are allowed their phone call etc. I suspect they already have the guy and are just waiting on the necessary paperwork to arrive from the DA's office.
