The youths who were sentenced for writing the Randex worm built a 30,000 strong botnet to win at online gaming.
A British teenager has been sentenced for his part in writing and distributing the Randex worm which turned infected PCs into 'zombies', controlled by spammers and designed to send out vast quantities of unsolicited email.
A Taiwanese man has been arrested after admitting to authoring the Peep Trojan horse.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) arrested a teenager on Wednesday on suspicion of creating a worm that could be used to create an army of zombie computers for delivering spam.
US-based Internet security researchers have confirmed that a worm is behind the sharp jump in spam activity battering Telstra's BigPond and other major global ISPs since early last week.
