MSBlaster Teen Arrested?

MSBlaster Teen Article (http://www.msnbc.com/news/958852.asp?0si=-)

Does anyone think that this kid really did it? According to this article he left such stupid clues as to who it was, you would think it was a set up.

Another thing... should they really be locking him up or praising him? He exposed a serious flaw with windows that could have been used to an even worse extent. Although he could have gone about it differently, he still got millions of people to upgrade their machines to protect themselves against many other things, not just his virus.

What do you guys think?

I saw the picture of him on the news. Looks like a fat overwieght teen with nothing better to do

Hey, not all of us write viruses. lol

According to the article, he only got the virus and alter the code slightly. He didn't create the original virus. And they said he didn't have any connections to the the people who did.

it shows how many not so bright people there are in the world, like all thouse people who downloaded/opened infected emails/attachments.

if people didn't download the stuff/open bogus emails there would be only a small problem with viruses.

Its like a dead giveaway when I get something from somebody I don't know, in fact never heard of, and then open an attachment from them! Thats something a child would do.
