Software giant Microsoft (Nasdaq:MSFT - news) had received anonymous tip-offs about the worm's creator and then contacted the Federal Bureau of Investigation and German police, Federau said. All three worked together to find the suspect. Federau said the man, who he described as a highly intelligent "computer freak" living with his parents, was arrested on Friday near the central German town of Rotenburg but was no longer in custody. Authorities did not know if the man had created all the versions of Sasser but said he had worked alone.

Stereotypes Everywhere 05/10/2004 02:58 AM
Just about everyone has already commented about the fact that German authorities, with the help of Microsoft (and their reward money), tracked down the 18-year-old creator of the Sasser worm, so all that I'll add to the story is that this kid seems to so exactly fits the stereotype of the classic hacker kid that anyone hoping to reform that image had just had their work made much more difficult. Here we have a teenager who lives at home with his parents, and created the worm for fun and still doesn't quite understand why everyone's making such a big deal out of it.
