Computerworld reported claims by terrorist "Abu Mujahid" that he was responsible for the Slammer worm. Now it turns out that the Harkat-ul-Mujahideen site is operated by "Brian McWilliams, a former reporter for Newsbytes.com, which is now owned by The Washington Post Co." McWilliams told the Computerworld reporter: "I was hoping I might get a story out of some of the stuff that came in to the site. Most of the messages have been from people in the Middle East who wanted to join jihad. I've forwarded some to the FBI." The site has now been replaced with a note that concludes: "We apologize for any confusion."
