Turkey and Morocco authorities assisted with Microsoft investigators and the FBI in locating two suspects believed to be responsible for the recent Zotob virus that was causing constant reboots on computers worldwide. via earthtimes:

… FBI chasing an electronic trail that has lead to two youngsters faraway in the Middle East and North Africa. It is believed that 18-year old Moroccan Farid Essebar wrote the Zotob viral program in return for a payment offered by the 21-year old Turk Atilla Ekici, after meeting him over the Internet. Yesterday both were arrested and now await prosecution in their respective countries.

Seems like this duo might be involved in some identity theft crimes as well. If found guilty, I say put them in a cell with a door that keeps opening and closing just as they have a chance to reach it — for the rest of their lives.

Did this post make you go hmm?
