	Sven Jaschan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sven Jaschan (born April 29, 1986) is the self-confessed author of the NetSky and Sasser computer worms.
		Jaschan lives in the village of Waffensen, Germany and attends a computer science school in nearby Rotenburg.

		The court, which tried Jaschan behind closed doors because he was a minor at the time of the offense, said in its ruling that he "acted out of a need for recognition" and not for commercial aims.
