German Teen Charged with Creating Sasser
nomoreself writes "Sven Jaschan, only 18 years old, has been indicted by prosecutors in Verden, Germany for allegedly releasing the well known Sasser worm. The PC World article has the details, including the fact that Microsoft's $250,000 reward offer was responsible for informants' coming forth with Jaschan's name, and that Jaschan has actually already confessed to writing several versions of Netsky, as well as the worm in question. Surprisingly enough, the 143 victims that have filed charges are only claiming $158,000 worth of damages." You might remember when he was first arrested back in May.
bounty hunters take note: worm/viri writers are easy money.
Probably your 4th grade English teacher is at fault.
Whose = the possessive form
Who's = who is.
GOD am I sick of people with piss-poor grammar.
At the very least he should be taken out someplace and literally beaten within an inch of his life. They ought to give every single person who was affected by his punk ass a chance to come take a swing at him, preferably with a baseball bat.
Blaming Microsoft for the acts of a vandal is like blaming TWA for the acts of terrorists.

Muslim community leaders warn of backlash from tomorrow morning's terrorist attack.
You're an idiot. If you could only sue to recover losses, the company that wronged you would have no incentive to reform. They could do the same thing to everybody, and maybe only 5% of the wronged will sue, so they will be even on those 5% but profiting by their wrongdoing on the other 95%.
