"The variant Parson allegedly released, called MSBlaster.B, is a slightly altered version of the original MSBlaster, which wreaked havoc on Internet users two weeks ago. Officials stressed that this was not the end of the Blaster investigation, and sources said Parson likely did not have anything to do with the original MSBlaster worm variant, which targeted security holes in Microsoft’s Windows operating system."

"While the original MSBlaster infected over 1 million computers, the government alleges Parson’s variant infected some 7,000 computers — raising questions of how significant his role was in the overall crisis that Blaster caused for computer users."

MSNBC.com article on his arrest.:

Parson’s alleged Blaster variant was programmed to connect back to a Web site named “www.t33kid.com” after it infected computers. Authorities traced that Web site to an Internet provider in San Diego named California Regional Internet Inc., according to the complaint filed against Parson. That provider told investigators that the computer which hosted Parson’s site was actually controlled by a reseller in Watauga, Tex. That reseller fingered Parson as the owner of the Web site.
“He obviously left clues,” McKay said Friday.
