GERMAN TEEN ADMITS CREATING SASSER VIRUS
A 19-year-old has confessed to writing the Sasser computer worm which wreaked havoc across the world last year.
Sven Jaschan admitted to data manipulation, computer sabotage and interfering with public corporations at his trial in Berlin.
It was one of the biggest Internet attacks of its kind.
After emerging around May last year, versions of the Sasser worm went on to knock out an estimated one million computer systems.
It spread on the ubiquitous Microsoft Windows operating system.
Some security firms called it the most destructive worm ever.
The trial is closed to the public as Jaschan was still a minor when some of the offences took place.
But judge Katharina Kruetzfeldt said Jaschan had confessed.
He could face a maximum sentence of five years in prison as well as having to pay compensation to his victims.
Described by authorities as a "computer freak", he was identified after Microsoft offered a reward of £125,000 for information leading to his arrest.
A verdict is expected on Thursday.

Heh, got what was coming to him.
Hear about the one who made a virus that printed off his CV and then threatened to write more viruses if he didnt get a job?
What is the world coming to  ;p

OMG I hate that guy.  I got my new pc around april last year and we had been connected to the internet for about a fortnight, when my computer got infected with the sasser worm. Me and my dad spent ages trying to get rid of it but it kept crashing.
We finally got it fixed by changing some internet connections or something, but it wasted so much of my time.
Anyway, I'm glad he admitted to it and i hope he get what he deserves. |

Sven Jaschan, 19, admitted his guilt on the first day of his trial in the northwest German town with the expression of "deep remorse" for what he has done and hope for making contribution to anti-virus in computer industry, German News Agency DPA reported.
He probably could be rather useful in that area.
I doubt that's really going to make a difference for the people who were infected. |

What was that worm? The one that restarted the system when you connected to the Internet (because of a bug or something in it)?
Hack, hack, hack!
