Worm Writer Gets Slapped Reuters 12:00 p.m. Sep. 27, 2001 PDT AMSTERDAM -- The Dutch creator of the "Anna Kournikova" virus, which infec= ted computers worldwide, was sentenced on Thursday to 150 hours' community = service. The virus, disguised as a digital photo of the heartthrob Russian tennis st= ar, e-mailed itself to millions of computers in February, slowing systems a= nd shutting down some servers. Its creator, a 20-year-old computer shop employee from the northern Dutch t= own of Sneek, collected viruses and had by his own admission gathered some = 7,200, the court in the city of Leeuwarden said in its verdict. "The virus he spread caused nuisance, concern and irritation to Internet us= ers worldwide," the court said in its judgment, though it added that the da= mage had been limited. The man turned himself in to police shortly after creating the virus. In a = letter he posted on the Web, he claimed inspiration in equal parts from dev= otion to the 20-year-old Russian player and evidence that Internet users we= re not taking steps to protect themselves from viruses.
