Two Arrested Over Release of Computer Worm

Moroccan and Turkish authorities have arrested two men believed to have written and released the Zotob computer worm that created havoc on networks at more than 100 US and other corporations almost two weeks ago.

The two men, a Moroccan and a Turk, were arrested after Microsoft, the software maker, tracked the worm's electronic trail across the internet and passed on its findings to the US Federal Bureau of Investigation. Source FT.com
