German teen behind most viruses this year

[kingthebadger]

PETALING JAYA: Antivirus vendor Sophos Plc said that 70% of virus activity in the first half of 2004 can be linked to a German teenager.

Sven Jaschan, 18, is the self-confessed author of the Netsky and Sasser worms which hit Internet users hard in the first six months of the year, Sophos (www.sophos.com) said in a statement.

Just two of Jaschan's viruses, the infamous Sasser worm and Netsky-P, accounted for almost 50% of all virus activity seen by the company up until the end of June.

Let me set the record straight. Nerds are conventionists, this means they love to goto conventions about anything ie Startrek.

Geeks are the ones that love computers.

Dorks are just dumbasses.

The guy's a bastard - all people who create viruses are. My cousin said:
"People who make viruses should be shot once for every computer they infect."
... I quite like that quote.
