Federal Bureau of Investigation Honors Microsoft for Rapid Response to Mytob/Zotob Worm | |
|
||
| Time: 10:20 EST/15:20 GMT | News Source: Microsoft Press Release | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner | ||
|
On behalf of Robert S. Mueller III, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI Cyber Division Assistant Director James E. Finch today presented certificates for “Exceptional Service in the Public Interest” to nine Microsoft employees, including Brad Smith, Microsoft Senior Vice President and General Counsel, for their assistance in the swift resolution of the 2005 Mytob/Zotob computer worm investigation. Microsoft’s investigation into the author and distributors of the Zotob/Mytob was referred to the FBI only five days after the release of the Zotob worm in 2005. FBI agents, using the results of Microsoft's investigation, then flew to Morocco, and assisted in the arrests of two individuals 12 days after the worm starting causing damage. This month, one of the individuals was sentenced to two years in prison in Morocco for his role in writing and distributing the Zotob and Mytob worms. | ||
