Computer virus author jailed


Recommended Posts

A man who admitted infecting thousands of computers across the world with fast-spreading viruses has been jailed for two years.

Simon Vallor, 22, created the viruses at his home in Llandudno, north Wales, and released them on to the internet.

The "mass-mailer" viruses were sent as e-mails that would corrupt data on the computer's hard-drive when they were opened.

In addition, the viruses were automatically sent to everyone on the computer's address book.

On Tuesday, the 22-year-old DJ and web designer was sentenced at London's Southwark Crown Court to two years for each of three offences, to run concurrently.
