INTERNET ATTACKER: MYSTERY MAN
The FBI thinks they can catch whoever launched the "Slammer" worm that gummed up the Internet last weekend? Fat chance, computer security experts say.
While "Slammer" is somewhat similar to the "Honker" worm launched in 2001 by a Chinese hacker group, it's impossible to tell whether or not the same culprits unleashed the latest assault.
The Associated Press says, "Exhaustive reviews of the blueprints for the attacking software are yielding few clues to its origin or the author's identity."
