Microsoft today announced two $250,000 rewards for
information leading to the arrest and conviction of
the
virus authors behind the infamous Sobig and Blaster
worms.
The rewards, part of a larger scheme, were announced
in joint press conference with the FBI, the US Secret
Service, Microsoft and Interpol in Washington today.
At the conference, Microsoft announced the creation
of the Anti-Virus Reward Program, initially funded
with $5 million, to "help law enforcement agencies
identify and bring to justice those who illegally
release damaging worms, viruses and other types of
malicious code on the Internet".
