Teenager Suspected of Spreading Computer Virus

A story on the AP wire [1]this morning, reports that the FBI is pretty sure they’ve ID’d the 18 year old kid who wrote the ‘Blaster’ virus. Of course, they’re not releasing much in the way of detail, though they claim they’ll have them once this kid’s under arrest.  Seems a bit odd that they’d let something like that drop. I wonder if they’re trying to rattle his cage a bit.
