Complete bullshit.

Obviously the authorities have no clue how it works.

On august 12, 2005, the code for the "exploit" was released onto the internet, on atleast 20+ "0day exploit" websites.

The code is basically harmless.

These guys and about 1000 others on the internet then took a copy of rxbot / rbot (been around since 2000), adapted rbot to scan and work with the UPNP2 exploit, aka mytob, and people went "omgosdgmomg ITS A WORM!!!"

No, security forum noobs. It's a basic trojan, that he instructed to scan a certain way. He didnt really code anything. And it's not a "worm". Your computer was simply part of a large botnet.

Russians

Well the Russian. Will only get a slap on the back. They have no computer/internet laws in russia. Then again what do you think all the preteen porn comes from? Russia of course. Since, a 13 year old boy or girl is not a minor in russia..

He was a Moroccan citizen, just born in Russia. And he was arrested in Morocco, not Russia, and will be subject to Moroccan law.

Those 2 fools are little worms themselves and MicroSloth eats their delicious worms for breakfast everyday. Also watch out for those Trojan condom viruses as well, those damn nasty things are all over the pornonet these days!

I agree with you that not much will happen to him. Somehow I doubt Morocco cares much about cyber crime.

There is nothing cyber in Morocco, therefore there are no cybercrimes.

Diabl0 is probably that guy that is consistently number 1 in almost every track in PGR2.

He is a script kiddie. He took rbot and added in the widely available exploit which is available on google.

All talk about windows viruses

I'm still waiting for these weirdos to make a virus for the Mac. I still don't think many people can do it which pretty much leaves Mac users virus free.

Like the rest they will be hired by some company who writes av software then the av company will be promptly bought by a spyware vendor and they will be back in the act.

Re: All talk about windows viruses

Mac users are boring to exploit...not many use a Mac, so there isn't much to brag about writing a virus/worm for it.
