Security firm IDs Zotob's author
MessageLabs issued a statement today saying it knows who wrote the Zotob virus.
Putting a digital name to the person, the company said the perpetrator is Diab10, the same author who created the Mydoom/MyTob viruses.
The company added that its research suggests Diabl0 could be based in Turkey, but the availability of source code for various versions of Mydoom and MyTob makes it difficult to pinpoint a precise location.
MessageLabs also agreed with assessments that Zotob is in a botwar with Bozori and IRCbot.
