Eighteen-year-old Sven Jaschan, the teen accused of creating the Sasser worm that infected millions of computers around the world, has been taken on by the Securepoint computer firm based in Lueneburg, northern Germany. There, he is being trained to create firewalls that prevent computer from being infected by just such worms and viruses.

Jaschan has been charged with computer sabotage, data manipulation and disruption of public systems for allegedly hatching the Sasser worm. Securepoint director Lutz Hausmann claimed Jashcan "deserves a chance" after admitting during a job interview that he only became really aware of the consequences of his actions after it was too late.

Creating Sasser? 05/18/2004 03:04 PM
For all the hype about how Microsoft's bounty helped to catch the accused writer of the Sasser worm, the police are apparently now investigating whether or not the informant helped create the worm himself. This opens up a whole new set of questions about bounties. People who help each other create worms and viruses can turn around and backstab their partners for the bounty (and, of course, then be accused back by those they fingered).

MacCentral: Mac users still not safe from vulnerability. "What is really critical is the fact that Apple did not address the "disk" URI vulnerability, which allows malicious websites to silently place code on a user's system," said Rasmussen. "Everything should be OK, after the "help" vulnerability has been fixed, but another very unfortunate feature has been revealed in Mac OS X disk image and volume handling, allowing a disk image to register a new URI handler and associate an application with this - obviously this application can be located on the disk image or volume."
