China Charges Four in 'Panda Worm' Outbreak
Gregg Keizer writes on ComputerWorld:
Four men were charged yesterday in a Chinese court for creating and selling the worm that went by names such as "Fujacks" and "Panda Burning Joss Sticks," according to the Changjiang Times.More here.
The quartet, which included Li Jun, the 25-year-old most frequently pegged as Fujack's maker, faces prison terms of at least five years if convicted, the southern Chinese newspaper said. The other defendants listed were Wang Lei, Zhang Shun and Lei Lei. Last February, in the first arrests in China for writing malware, six were taken into custody by Hubei provincial police. It's unclear whether the charges against the remaining two have been dropped.
