Fighting malware and spam

'Kournikova' writer loses appeal

Reports are that Jan de Wit, author of the 'Kournikova' virus (VBSWG variant) has lost his appeal against 150 hours of community service.

The Register reports that Jan de Wit, author of the 'Kournikova' virus (VBSWG variant) has lost his appeal against his sentence of 150 hours of community service.

Diligent readers will remember various denouncements of this apparently lenient sentence by the industry. VB assumes therefore that Mr de Wit did not take up Graham Cluley on his offer to do the community service instead.
