Sasser

Creator of Sasser virus was found because some acquaintances of the author were tempted by Microsoft's $250,000 award. Actually is is money well spent for Microsoft. Wonder, if this German kid from the village of Waffensen, near Bremen will actually be put in prison for 5 years?

Just related note - please keep your Windows updated and don't believe in those clever guys who tell you to avoid automatic updates because Microsoft is collecting some info of you. I hate, when school servers crash regularly because of somebody with virus conntecting to network. End of educational pitch.
