Update: Another Blaster Suspect Arrested

By | September 27, 2003
 Another Blaster suspect has been arrested. Prosecutors refused to release any information about the suspect, not even the youth’s gender or home state, AP reported. The variant the juvenile allegedly created was known as “RPCSDBOT.”
 
No one yet knows who created the main version. Collectively, different versions of the virus-like worm, alternately called “LovSan” or “Blaster,” hit more than a million computers. It’s interesting the two detainees both appear to be Americans. But it doesn’t mean the author of the original was, nor does it mean their motives were the same.
