he kinda looks like a haole version of you wes! hahaha j/k man...

first i would like to kick him in the ***** for SCREWING MY RR EMAIL FOR A FEW WEEKS!

then i would thank him for the extra money i earned for just going to someone's house, installing the patch and the search/fix that takes me about 8~ each time but I got like 700 more miles than usual

and lastly, i would like to slap him for being a noob and putting the forwarding to www.windowsupdate.com on a certain date to crash that site when its not even the correct url, its windowsupdate.microsoft.com, noob.

And he had all the infected computers register with HIS server. Um, talk about a trail of bread crumbs leading back to him. Jesus... Oh and bragging about it on his webpage and in forums. He was asking to get caught. A couple years in prison might do him good, slim him down a bit on prison food... yuk...

he deliverately did it to gain recognition. His computer ingenuinity sure wont get noticed if he was to work at comp usa, or wait for at least 2 years of college just to be an on call part-time programmer. Some software empire will sure pick him up quickly as soon as he finish his time. Remember the filipino guy that started the love virus?- his richer than anyone of us here now.
I think what he really did was sent out his job resume'

I would doubt it. Why? Cuz one of the scripts in the worm was designated to hit the Microsoft Windows Update server to ping it to death on the same time of one day. Granted its funny how he actually MISSPELLED the url of it. It should have been windowsupdate.microsoft.com not windowsupdate.com

Kevin Mitnick, now he is DA MAN.
