I'm glad I don't know enough about programming to try something like that...

Not only the Sasser programmer seems to be from Germany but also the Phatbot programmer, who seems to be an unemployd 26 Year old... :(

Some people say , the boy programmed Sasser with knowledge of his mother, who has a company which helps people with computer problems......

Don't have an english link handy but it seems that there are quite some disscusions in german forums...

His mother has a company helping people with computer problems? I thought that I've read the the programmer himself has such a company...

:bs: the longer the day the more bullshit newspaper write... I don't know what's really true now...

I'm glad that I'm not bothered by those viruses *knocking-on-a-piece-of-wood*

According to what I've read, he has also written the Netsky Virus. But as the-mk stated, you can't really trust newspapers these days ....

the-mk: he is only 18, so it's unlikely he already got a company. It was indeed his mother who owns a company.

Ok, with the Sasser-thing I was wrong... it was his mother having the company...

But is the Phatbot programmer really 26 years old? My newspaper says that he's only 21 years old... :confused:
