Subject: M$ puts bounty out for Blaster and Sobig culprits

M$ is offering $250K for info leading to the arrest of those
who released Blaster and/or Sobig.  See the details here:

One outcome of this will be severely limiting bragging about
pulling off such sploits.
And one would think those actually guilty should be real busy
right now erasing any/all evidence (that they didn't take care
of long ago).

Maybe M$ should put out a bounty for reporting bugs in their
crappy software without going public instead.  That might be
more effective.

Peace,
Vic
