Word of warning to worm authors here. Authorities in Morocco have handed out jail sentences to the two authors of the Zotob worm. The court sentenced Farid Essebar, a 19 year-old science student, to two years in jail and 22 year-old Achraf Bahloul to one year for their part in creating and spreading the worm.
