Microsoft Reward Snags Suspected Sasser Author
“Microsoft’s $5 million fund for rewarding informants for leads on virus attacks has snagged its first success with the arrest of a man in Germany who has confessed to the release of the Sasser worm, the software giant said Saturday.
In what the company called a “coordinated multinational law enforcement effort,” information provided to Microsoft by informants led local authorities to arrest the 18-year-old unnamed resident of Rotenburg, Germany, only a week after the original Sasser virus had been released.”
