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.'"
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.
