Hapless Hackers

Good thing we have the FBI and Bill Gates on the case for tracking those elusive hackers. Yesterday they captured a teenage script-addict who tweaked the "Master Blaster" worm. [SFGate.com]. As Alan Saracevic noted in the San Francisco Chronicle, the "best part is they put this 6-foot-4-inch, 320-pound fellow under home detention."

Doesn't sound like young Jeffrey Lee Parson got out much in the first place. Losers are losers, whatever the age. Way to go, FBI!! And we're relying on these bozos to protect the US from terrrorists?
