Thought:
Wow! 18 year old only!? What were we doing at the age huh? ;) I am surprised that German police arrested the suspect in such a short time. Unfortunely, no detail about how the suspect found. :neutral:

In the past records, great worm/virus writers are seldom be arrested, except this time.

BTW, German really has many hackers/crackers… but seems like they seldom contribute to the computing world.
