Sasser Author Under Arrest, Say German Police

Posted by Hemos on from the mein-wormen dept.

Apogee writes "A number of german news websites, like n-tv, or the german yahoo news site (courtesy of the german press agency, lending this some credibility) (web sites in german) report that the programmer of the Sasser worm has been arrested by German police. The Sasser author is an 18-year-old man who was arrested on Friday in Rotenburg, Germany. With the Sasser worm being the latest among worms that spread like wildfire among unpatched windows boxes, and apparently also caused serious computer outages and cost to the economy, how will this be transformed into an indictment?" Update: 05/08 18:41 GMT by T : SexySas writes "As the German news site heise reports, the 18-year-old author of Sasser is responsible for Netsky, too. The German police is talking about 'a milestone in war against cybercrime'."

    Think that I'm a loser
    'Cause my pants are really too low
    Think that I'm a slob
    'Cause I got holes in my shoes
    Think my cock is like
    I like my dirty shirt
    Well you can fuck off
    'Cause I'm working sixty a week
    You think that life is really tough
    When your pappy won't buy
    You a brand new car
    Take a girl out she won't fuck you
    After you just brought her a gram of coke
    You spent all your money on shitty coke
    I'm not a loser! That's right,
    I'm not a loser!
    Cruise down the boulevard
    Wasting Mommy's gas while you're
    Looking for kicks on Friday night
    You're only goal in life
    Is to smoke a joint
    And decide how you're gonna get
    Laid tonight
    You are a fucking son-of-a-bitch
    You arrogant asshole
    Your pants are too tight
    You fucking homo
    You suck, Mr. Buttfuck
    You don't belong here
    Go away you fucking gay
    I'm not a loser!

    Yeah, dude deserves any respect... he's some punk kid that thinks he owns the internet. No better than punks who spew in usenet or spam email.

      A real "adult" [female or male] wouldn't do something so idiotically childish.

      Kids do stupid things without thinking of the consequences. This person is nothing more than a mere child.
