Trial of virus writer postponed


Sasser author made to wait.

The trial of self-confessed virus writer Sven Jaschan has been postponed until next year.

The 18-year-old, who

confessed earlier this year to authoring

the Sasser and Netsky.A viruses, will now stand trial in January 2005 – the earliest date upon which all those involved in the trial could agree.

After publically making it known that he was

looking for work

in the IT security industry, Jaschan (whose full name is currently being withheld from German media reports – oops) was

offered a job

last month by German security firm Securepoint.
