    Zombie masterminds wanted undead or alive[^] I'd like to think that someone who knows the authors, will turn the little pr!@ks over; $250k is a good chunk of change.

    Like who is gonna do that? "Erstwhile college friends of German VXer Sven Jaschan, who was convicted of writing the Sasser worm, picked up a $250 payout for their efforts."

      So what they are going to do with that person ? If they only going to ask you that how you done that... then I can tell them your name and we will share the 250K :laugh:

        How about: 1) write a badass virus. 2) Unleash it to the world. 3) Have your friend rat you out. 4) Take some of your share of the bounty and hire a good lawyer :)

            I believe that there is only a payout upon arrest AND conviction.

                And spend your bounty on what in jail? MS would not offer that much money if they don't feel they have a good chance of conviction

                  Unless they thought they had no chance of finding the writer of the virus. Then they could get some free viral-stylee advertising.

                      Uh. I'm not sure if you had a brainfart or what, but $250K = $250,000, not $250. Not that it's blindingly obvious or anything.

                          I quoted that directly from the article's content, so perhaps the author had a brainfart (which I dont think), but not me :)

                            Really? When I visit that link, I see:

                            Erstwhile college friends of German VXer Sven Jaschan, who was convicted of writing the Sasser worm, picked up a $250,000 payout for their efforts.

                            Which is odd... unless they made a booboo and corrected it since you viewed it, which is possible :)

                                        In that case... just forgot my idea. :)

                                        What can I say, I'm just a blood-thirsty Celt who is really tired of the Vandals. The Visigoths to for that matter. ;P My hair may look lime-washed, but only a small area of my skin is panted blue :wtf:
