"Parson allegedly created MSBlast.B, a minor variation that differed from the original worm "

doesn't sound like they found the source of the virus...

Viruses are a pain in the arse.

I have had to close all the .com emails accounts for this site (so you will have to change the .com to .info if emailing ths site) as I have been getting over 50 emails every 15 minutes containing the SOBIG virus. It's around 200 to 300 per hour!!!!

I like the part of that article that reads:-

Neighbors interviewed by the Associated Press described Parson as a big kid who drove too fast, changed his hair color often and spent a lot of time on his computers.

fat kid
