Teen Sentenced for Releasing Variant of Blaster Worm

Posted by michael on from the netloon dept.

ScentCone writes "Minnesota teen Jeffrey Lee Parsons got a year and half for releasing a Blaster variant. The lightweight sentence was due, said the judge, to the parents' neglect. Quoting the judge: 'It's not a healthy thing to lock yourself in a room and create your own reality.' Which means most slashdotters basically have a get out of jail free card."

    Geeks are prime targets. 18 months is more than enough time, heck 18 hours is more than enough time to be victimized. Some people get abused before they are even tried.
