This may sound strange, but i just love that worm! Makes you think on
more advanced ways as to how to
stop it from accuring/re-accuring..
Pushes you past the limits!

Ein 18-Jähriger aus Norddeutschland soll den Computerschädling” "Sasser" programmiert haben, der weltweit Millionenschäden anrichtete. Tödlich war Sasser nicht für die Computer. Er sorgte aber dafür, dass Programme immer wieder neu starteten und die Rechner so blockierten.
Der Wurm braucht drei Dinge zu leben: ein Programmierer, es zu schaffen, ein *, es zu liefern, und ein Idiot, es zu empfangen.

I knew that was some kind of latin based language, its German, you just said something around the lines of:
A 18-Jaehriger from Northern Germany is the computer parasit ""Sasser" programmed, which arranged world-wide million-damage. Sasser was not deadly for the computers. It ensured however for the fact that programs started again and again again and blocked the computers in such a way.
The worm needs to live three things: a programmer to create it a hybrid, to supply it and an idiot to receive it. -

The first time I went to Russia (it was called the USSR then) I quickly realized that English, German, Spanish, French and Italian are essentially the same language. How did you derive "hybrid" from "*"? Folgen Sie den Verbindungen, jenem mehr Spaß, die dann übersetzen, was Selbst ausrufend sein soll. Dank!

An 18 year old punk from Germany. You bring the tar. I'll bring the feathers. Let's do this thing!
/Lars. -
More Tar is needed as many more crackers have been arrested in Baden-Württemberg, Niedersachen, Hamburg and Bavaria. With the price of oil these days this project is going to be expensive, but not as costly as the "reward" doled out to the informant (rat) who cashed in on his friends.
It looks like a trail of 1's and 0's lead authorities from one cracker to another till they found the author of Phatbot.
That's the inverse of "Social networking". -

Further updates: apparently German authorities are now alleging that the Sasser suspect was also connected to all 28 (!) variants of the Netsky worm. At least, that's what our press release says.

I wonder what would happen if Microsoft was held accountable for viruses? That $50bn reserve wouldn't last very long.
Viruses are a big problem for non-profits and public funded organisations like the NHS in the UK. The cost of updating those old Windows 95/98 systems and network infrastructure is a big issue - often there is not the time, manpower or the money to do it. At least for businesses the worse case is that they will lose profits thanks to downtime for patching. When it is health related it is far more serious - 100% uptime is needed. -
What if the NHS was held responsible for disease?
They MUST upgrade their computing systems, it's a matter of life and death. -

What if a car manufacturer would be held responsible for any bugs in the braking system?

The best spent money ever. Kudos to Microsoft for helping to put these scumbags away.

Yeah I agree... clever thinking on Microsofts part.

Maybe its time we name and shame the SA's bitten by the latest bug... Bugs and worms will continue to crawl around our networks, we all need to be more vigilant.

Diseases are not things that we do not fully understand like we do with computers - computer bugs are easier to fix than human bugs.
I think that the computers should be upgraded, however the issue is how it is to be done. It would take a long time and would really be done department at a time (critical systems would have a backup so you would upgrade them one at a time.

A good diet and exercise will prevent most diseases.
Computer upgrading migration resources are well documented.
Updated computing systems with a good firewall will prevent bugs and save lives with better patent care.
