Microsoft Drops Blaster Author's Fine

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the slap-on-the-wrist dept.

bevo noted that Microsoft has dropped their fine against the author of the Blaster worm that DDoS'd Microsoft's web sites and hijaacked 50,000 computers. 225 hours instead of a 500k fine. $2200/hour seems like a good deal to me ;)

    You can DTFM (do the fucking math), but you can't RTFA (read the fucking article)? The 500k was restitution, not fines--a previous post explained the difference. He was sentenced to 18 months as well.
