A 19-year old can easily wreak havoc to mickey mouse OS
`` After emerging around May last year, versions of the Sasser worm went on to knock out an estimated 1 million computer systems among home users and companies by spreading on the ubiquitous Microsoft Windows operating system.

Sasser victims ranged from the British Coastguard to the European Commission, Goldman Sachs and Australia's Westpac Bank. Some security firms called it the most destructive worm ever. ''

Most likely this guy will be hired by someone to work for them in Internet security position. I wont be surprised if MS itself hires him to SHOW them the gaping holes in their security.

However, MS is putting out a bounty for all the
criminal 19-year olds instead of correcting their own system or even putting a bounty out for the 'arrest' of EACH ONE of their vulnerabilities or of the `Einstein' who let it happen....!
