WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Authorities in Morocco and Turkey have arrested two men for unleashing computer worms that disrupted networks across the United States last week, the FBI said on Friday.

Farid Essebar, 18, of Morocco, and Atilla Ekici, 21, of Turkey, are believed to have been responsible for the Zotob worm that hit the Internet less than two weeks ago, along with predecessors called Rbot and Mytob released earlier, the FBI said.

Despite the short time its been in circulation
This will be popping up still on some peoples computers for several months,if they have not got the updates on their A/V programs And there are those with NO protection at all! Eek
Just because they caught"someone" does not mean this will go away overnight.
Ok they were part of a distribution network? But the question is... Were they the Top of the pile or Foot soldiers?
Worse thing you can do is feel the danger is past and lower your defences...
In real terms there might be several worse strains plus several copies of these by other people along at anytime Frown
Don't get caught napping Keep your vigilance (and updates) up Wink
