In a story on Wired News, I read that Jeffrey Lee Parson, who is only 19, will be getting an 18 month prison sentence for releasing a variant of the MS Blaster Worm that plagued many computers and shut down many networks, including my school’s, over a year ago. It is said that the damages from the virus cost over $1 Million. Along with prison time, he also has to do community service, pay restitution for the damages and stay under supervision for 3 years after he is released. Read More here. Later!
