Creator of Sasser Worm Goes on Trial

Posted by Zonk on from the facing-the-music dept.

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.'"

    Don't tell me everyone has a hangover after July 4th, what about people in countries where it doesn't get celebrated.

    Usually I get more from reading the comments than I do from reading the articles.

    I can't believe I'm going to get first post, on Slashdot no less.

    You're still making the assumption that it was "Bin Laden"'s fault... Perhaps you should visit whatreallyhappened.com it's really enlightening. Actual videos and the ENTIRE sound clip of the firefighter who made it all the way up to 79th floor I believe, and gives his verbal description of what he sees, plus the photos of people... There's lots of things that don't ADD UP, look at the ACTUAL hard evidence, and something just ain't right?!

    He caused damage on his way in. Its more like, I invented a new tool to open up car doors. I'm going to run down the street, hit the button on every car, and then throw a bucket of paint in on the seat. People had to clean up his mess. Sure, let him work for a security company. He'll need a good job to pay off the bill they stick him with for his troubles.

    I thought that said faeces. Perhaps I should go to the loo.
