70% Of 2004 Virus Activity Down To One Man
arpy writes "According to a report produced by anti-virus software provider Sophos, 70% of anti-virus activity in the first half of this year can be blamed on Sven Jaschan, an 18-year-old German who wrote the Netsky and Sasser worms. According to the report, "Sasser claimed the top spot of the virus chart, in spite of the raging battle between the widespread Netsky and Bagle worms." The Register has a good summary of the report."

Where in the world are you getting your math from?
Speaking of dodgy maths, before my School Certificate (an exam all high school students do in year 10 in Australia), we did some sample questions.
One of the question had a point with multiple lines coming out of it. The question asked you to measure each angle and to write down the sum of the angles. (Hint: 360deg)
What was the "official" answer according to the answer sheet published by the Board of Studies? They would have accepted angles between 355 and 365 degrees.
70% of virus infections in my neighbourhood are caused by just one woman.
For all intensive porpoises your a bunch of rediculous loosers
I'm sure there are plenty of helpdesk personnel, network administrators, and "computer guy" friends who would like to punch that guy in the mouth.
Not really. He keeps people like me in a job.
Of this was about Bill Gates, the headline would be "99.9% of 2004 virus activity down to one man" :-)

That would be painful to watch.
There's nothing more pathetic than a bunch of nrds trying to throw a punch.
"The computer worm he created continues to spread despite the fact that their creator has been taken out of the equation."

Here in the USA, most of us finish high school within 6 or 7 years.
