LOVE Crimes

by Steve Gibson May 08, 2000 7:40pm CST tags: Wack News
It looks like it's a crime to love guys. ZDNet is reporting that they tracked down the guy who wrote that ILOVEYOU virus that was causing havoc all over the net. The funny thing is when they raided the guys house and confiscated stuff, he didnt even have a computer at home. They tracked it to another computer (his girlfriends)

"It was only (her) computer used to launch the virus that was traced, but anybody could use that computer," an official said. "The user here is invisible; it could be anybody. The difference is that the person we have identified is the registered owner of that computer."
