Teen behind 70% of viruses


"Germany - A German teenager is apparently responsible for 70% of internet viruses that spread in the first half of 2004, The Telegraph reports.

The teen is the self-confessed author of the Sasser and Netsky worms and their variations.

A technical consultant at a computer security company, told The Telegraph: "It is simply staggering that a single German teenager could have had such a dramatic impact."

Ya ya, and this guy is also responsible for these stupid bugs taking window~1 down. It's always easy to find a guilty by that way: "I didn't do anything! He wrote all the malicious stuff".. By the way, I don't share the virus writer guy's ideas, but it's time to wake up for such companies. There is so much people losing invaluable data and time because of their stupidy.
