Trial of virus writer postponed

Sasser author made to wait.

The trial of self-confessed virus writer Sven Jaschan has been postponed until next year.

VB100

The 18-year-old, who confessed earlier this year to authoring the Sasser and Netsky.A viruses, will now stand trial in January 2005 - the earliest date upon which all those involved in the trial could agree.

After publically making it known that he was looking for work in the IT security industry, Jaschan (whose full name is currently being withheld from German media reports - oops) was offered a job last month by German security firm Securepoint.
