How about 'caught and sterilized'? That's the right message - cause billions in damages and the government will see to it that the offender will be the last in that branch of the family line. (Although, by the looks of it, he was always first in the line at McDonalds...  Grin Grin). Whip his goolies off, he'll never need them because he never meets real people - in any case, it'll make him more comfy (less in the way) when continuing the habit so far of sitting at his PC for the rest of his life. Shocked
 
Ah, I'm being mean! Tongue He's probably a nice bloke... I suppose he can't be that bad - after all, he did target MS. Cheesy

Well all I can say after reading that is what a moron. You release a virus and have it connecting to a domain you own and worse yet running a back up of the domain on your personal PC. Roll Eyes Basically the government is celebrating their ability to catch an idiot. I'll be amazed if they ever catch the real author and even more amazed if they are able to do anything about it.
