I didn't say anything about "throwing his ass in jail", did I?. Since when did getting a warrant = incarceration? The evidence cited would be enough to at least cause him to be talked to, don't you think, even in an environment where there was some respect for civil rights and the presumption of innocence still existed. In the US's political climate these days, people have been "disappeared" for months on evidence more circumstantial than that. I don't like it or agree with it. Take it up with Herr Ashcroft. -----Original Message----- From: Paul Schmehl [mailto:pauls () utdallas edu] Sent: Friday, August 29, 2003 5:15 PM To: full-disclosure () lists netsys com Subject: RE: [Full-disclosure] Authorities eye MSBlaster suspect --On Friday, August 29, 2003 3:47 PM -0500 Jerry Heidtke <jheidtke () fmlh edu> wrote:
It looks like it took the FBI 6 days to find what took 10 minutes on Google. Let's see, executable name is teekids.exe, here's a script-kiddie that goes by teekid, he's got a web site called t33kid.com, the whois for the domain gives his real name and address. Enough probable cause to get a warrant right there.
Wow! I'm glad you're not in charge of the Justice Department. I would *hope* you need a little more proof than that. Everything you've listed is purely circumstantial. Wouldn't you at least like to have an IP linking him to the seeding of the worm? Or is the mere presence of his "handle" enough to throw his ass in jail?
