Creator of Sasser Worm Goes on Trial

Cobb writes "Creator of the Sasser worm Sven Jaschan begins his trial today in Verden, Germany. Arrested in May 2004, Jaschan faces charges for his crimes as a juvenile. A reward from Microsoft partially led to the capture of the virus creator. From the article: 'The charges, which also include disrupting public services and illegally altering data, carry a maximum sentence of five years in prison. However, court spokeswoman Katharina Kruetzfeld said that, as a minor, he faces a lesser penalty.'"

'if found convicted...'

Well, aside from the fact that your statement doesn't make much sense...

He confessed (or possibly 'made his convictions known') to the 'crimes.'

So, he has already admitted his guilt, and is now waiting to see how wide to open up.

Like 'Federal Pound-Me-In-The-Ass-Prison' wide, or Goatse wide...
