8 Comments
The writer of the recent virus, come to be known as the 'Anna' worm for its usage of an Anna Kournikova image to spread its charm, has come clean to police. Reuters reports that apparently the man decided to turn himself in after consulting with his parents and realizing the virus had crippled e-mail servers worldwide. The man, known as OnTheFly, wrote the virus to show that Internet users have still not taken proper precautions to ward off viral attacks, even after the disastrous Love Letter and Melissa incidents. He could face as much as four years jail time for his crime.
