Worm Writers are Not Often Caught or Prosecuted

Even though some worm and virus writers leave clues to their identities
in their coding, they're not often caught because tracking them down
is not a profitable business.  Cybercrime units tend to focus their
resources on fraud and legal systems around the world are unsure
what to do with cyber criminals.  Russ Cooper says virus writers
should be pursued and prosecuted as an example to the rest of the
virus-writing community.
