A Hopkins, Minnesota teenager will appear in federal court in St. Paul Friday to face charges stemming from the release of a variant of the virulent W32.Blaster Internet worm that ravaged computer systems worldwide earlier this month. Jeffrey Lee Parsons, 18, will appear before federal magistrate Judge Susan Richard Nelson at 2 p.m. CDT at the James R. Dougan Federal Building in St. Paul, Minnesota, according to Deputy Clerk Mike Chutich. [MacCentral]
Apparently he made some sort of lamer version of Blaster and re-released it. Bummer.
