Romanian police yesterday arrested a man on suspicion of releasing a variant of the prolific Blaster worm. It's the second arrest of a copycat author of the worm in the last week.

Dan Dumitru Ciobanu, 24, from the northern Romanian city of Iasi, is alleged to have created the relatively tame Blaster-F version of the worm.

Blaster-F, first spotted on September 1, shares the same functionality and active mechanisms as original Blaster worm. The only differences are a change of the virus filename into enbiei.exe, a change in target for the DDoS attack from windowsupdate.com to Iasi's Hydrotechnical University and the addition of a text string within the virus in Romanian criticising the University and one of its professors.
