Jason Michael Milmont, who wrote the Nugache worm, pleaded guilty to one count of unlawfully accessing computers in the District Court for the Central District of California. The 19-year-old will pay $74,000 and faces as much as five years in prison. Though Nugache is small, flux approaches paved the way for bigger problems such as the Storm botnet. The kinds of problems created by Milmont and others are being address by the Messaging Anti-Abuse Working Group (MAAWG). The group released guidelines for ISPs aimed at slowing spam from botnets. The guidelines advise ISPs on how to deal with e-mail sent from dynamic IP addresses and e-mail forwarded to them from elsewhere.
