Sasser Worm author arrested...
I've just see on our TV news in Italy that the suspected Sasser Worm author was captured.
Seems that he's and 18 year's old high school student from Germany (Rotenburg, north of Germany).
My first think was this: the major viruses and worms authors are often young people... maybe they have a lot of free time to spent on these types of activities? 
Sasser worm spread through an estimated 18 million computers across the world last week and for me this is a big surprise... too many machines not well patched!!
I hope MS could continue to give patches available also for illegal Windows copies, because these machines could be a danger also for the others.
