A 21-year-old German man was arrested and has admitted to creating the ubiquitous and dangerous Trojan horse programs Agobot and Phatbot, but he is not connected to the German author of the Sasser Internet worm, a police spokesman said.
German police arrested the man on Friday in the southern German town of Waldshut and charged him under the country’s computer sabotage law for attacks linked to Agobot and Phatbot on computers in Germany, the U.K., and the U.S.
Maybe this will send a message to those wannabes and quell the tide of the worms, at least for a while. -KingFish
