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.

    That's for sure. Where he's going, I'm sure he'll be experiencing a "blaster" of a different sort.
