Authorities in the Philippines reportedly planned to serve a search warrant
at a Manila address that is believed to be the birthplace of the “Love Bug”
computer virus.
CNN reported Friday that the virus was tracked to the e-mail address of a
23-year-old Manila man through an Internet service provider in the
Philippines.
A spokesman for Sky Internet in Manila told CNN that authorities told him a
warrant will be served in the near future, but no arrests have been made.
Investigators have cautioned that e-mail address codes can be falsified.
The Love Bug virus Thursday raced around the world via the Internet,
attaching itself to entire computer address books belonging to e-mail
recipients who opened a booby-trapped attachment that masqueraded as a love
letter.
