Experts Say Police Got Wrong Suspects
Two computer virus experts have come forward and said that they do not believe that the couple in Manila currently under investigation for their role with the ILOVEYOU virus/worm are in fact the author of the code. James Atkinson from the Granite Island Group feels that the true author is Anjabi, a 15 to 17 year old girl who lives near the current suspects.

While this article is sensationalistic, full of hype and FUD, it does make and important point. ILOVEYOU was not as bad as it could have been. Just think if it was targeted against other types of files, .exe for instance. Or if it had been an auto executable with no user intervention required?

The FBI has been investigating (((Amdocs))), a Chesterfield Mo., telecommunications billing company who assisted Bell Atlantic with installing telephone lines at the White House in 1997. The FBI has tried to get an arrest warrant for a suspect however a senior law enforcement official told Fox News that "to suggest that the phones at the White House have been penetrated is not supported by the facts."

Blair Shewchuk, a journalist with the Canadian Broadcasting Company, has published a really good treatise on why media outlets continue to use the word 'hacker' instead of 'cracker' or some other alternative. While he may be correct in that you can not force people to use different words or change their meanings in the dictionary you can send a hell of a lot of emails. (Personally we prefer the word attacker or criminal, much less confusion with that.)

With everyone calling this thing the 'Love Bug' (it ain't a bug) you would think that Disney would start filing lawsuits claiming copyright infringement or at least issue a statement or something.
