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 :)

Which seems to be the case, do I get a noddy badge for noticing the 'typo' :)

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.

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:

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:
