Subject: Scandal: IT Security firm hires the author of  Sasser worm

>>He wrote a worm.  Big freaking deal.  

Yeah, very big freaking deal. He loosed an attack he had good reason to
believe would do damage to innumerable people all over the world. He
belongs in jail and for a long time, if only to send a message that such
behavior is wrong. 

And anyone who trusts him with their computers is an idiot.
