Alleged Sasser LSASS worm creator "J. Sven" (probably the same teenager who wrote some of the later Netsky variants) was arrested by police in the northern german town of Rotenburg.

Rumor says it was the CIA or FBI who tracked him.


On a related note, the alleged authors of Phatbot have been captured, too.

(German only, nobody from around the world has picked-up the news apparently).

"The main suspect is a 21-year old unemployed male".

Curiously, he's also from Germany (near Lörrach, a small town in the very south-west, near the border to Switzerland, if you must know).

I guess our education-system is not that bad, after all ;-)

Too bad the companies he attacked will not offer him a job, but sue him for millions...
