Jaschan and the Sasser Worm

I find it interesting that they called this young man a "boy". Am I to think he did this all as innocent fun and had no idea what the results could be? And as is noted near the end of the article, he is the son of a computer repair shop owner...hmmm.

UPDATE: Silicon Valley has an interesting blog. Seems he got community service.

UPDATE 2: July 12- Liked this Commentary from NYTimes.
It gives much better sentencing ideas- making the punishment fit the crime.
