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.

    Or have we forgotten how the system works?

    Alleged writer. Innocent until proven guilty beyond all reasonable doubt.

    That was pre-911. Now it is "You're guilty because we say so. Either plead guilty now or A) be charged with enough trumped-up bullshit to keep you in jail for life, or B) we will just hold you for eternity as a 'material witness'".
