So, Who Wrote Sobig?

An anonymous reader writes "F-Secure's Virus Blog posted links to a 48-page technical study on who wrote the infamous Sobig worm which went around the world last year. The study is done by anonymous authors. The study concludes that author of this worm is a Russian programmer and goes out all the way to name him. This file has now been posted publicly but on Geocities and and Tripod. So you can have a look by yourself and make your own conclusions."

I think this is yet another example of the kind of vigilante justice that has been trademark of various anti-virus activists for a long time. If these people have sufficient evidence prove that the guy is quilty, they should approach the law enforcement officials rather than trying to ignite a witchhunt in the internet. If they don't have the evidence, they should just shut up. This is not to defend virus writers, spammers or anybody, but just to remind the people that there is a legal and civilized way to do it.
