18 Months for Blaster Culprit
Another news article on MSNBC reveals that the culprit who released a variant of the Blaster Worm received 18 months jail sentence...
Jeffrey Lee Parson was a High School Senior student when he modified the Worm and released it, causing devasting effects on at least 48,000 computers (including one of mine I had just re-formatted and had to re-format again!)...
“I know I’ve made a huge mistake and I hurt a lot of people and I feel terrible,” Parson told the judge.
Yeah, burn in hell bastich... You did it for kicks and now your gonna get what for :D
*** UPDATE ***
Hmm interestiung point of view from Tekgnosis... I disagree completely. The security hole is there, but since this kid KNEW what the original Blaster was doing, to alter it and re-release it was doing it willfully and with pure intent to disrupt people's computers... To use the security hole for a joke virus is fine, but the raw damage wilfully caused by him was purely intentional. If *I* was releasing a computer virus, *I* would be doing it for entertainment....
