ChasingBlueSky 0 #1 May 8, 2004 You wanted to kick someone's ass because of your infected computer? Well, here is the guy and he is sitting at home (think you can take a teenager?): HANOVER, Germany (AFP) - An 18-year-old German man has confessed to creating the Internet Sasser worm which infected millions of computers worldwide last week, police said. The teenager, whom police have not identified by name, was arrested Friday after a raid on his house in Rotenburg, in the northern state of Lower Saxony, which turned up incriminating evidence. He was released from custody after questioning. The Sasser worm struck on May 1, and in less than a week affected thousands of companies and as many as 18 million computers worldwide, forcing some businesses to shut temporarily in order to debug their systems. The worm attacks through a flaw in recent versions of Microsoft's Windows operating systems -- Windows 2000 (news - web sites), Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP (news - web sites) -- and forces the computer into an unstoppable pattern of shutting down, then rebooting. It apparently does no lasting harm._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
