I don't know if you've heard yet but they caught the architect of the So-Big Worm virus and He's an American from Minnesota but He's under house arrest facing jail time, probation and a $250,000 fine. Just thought you might want to know.

Got the fella who did the blaster worm too. He may be looking at 10 years jail time.

It's just another version of vandalism except they don'thave to get offtheir backsides to do it so it seems safer. Some vandals spray grafitti, some slash train seats, some burn bus shelters, and the nerds write viruses.
