London man charged with making virus (Reuters)
Reuters News Agency reports the arrest of the suspected author
of "the malicious "T0rn" virus that attacked Linux computer systems". The suspect was assested at his
home in Surbiton, southwest of London, England.
T0rn, which later was modified by a Chinese virus-writing group to
create another worm known as Lion, circulated in the digital wild for
much of 2001, but did relatively little harm.
