Suspected Zotob Makers Arrested
The FBI says two men were nabbed in Turkey and Morocco, and charged in relation to the Zotob and earlier Mytob and Rbot worms. Looks like the FBI won this round!
Farid Essebar, 18, a Moroccan national born in Russia and known by the moniker "Diabl0," was arrested by Moroccan authorities, while Atilla Ekici, aka "Coder," a 21-year old resident of Turkey, was grabbed by Turkish police.
The two are believed to be behind the Zotob attacks that began last week, quickly infected thousands of machines worldwide, and brought down some corporate and media networks running vulnerable Windows 2000 PCs. They are also suspected of being behind Mytob, which harks back to February 2005, and Rbot, an IRC-controlled bot which debuted in August 2004.
