Onel De Guzman
Solved using computer forensics
Several years ago a highly destructive virus known as “The Love Bug”, was created. This was an email that appeared in inboxes across the word, entitled “I Love You”. The computer virus automatically sent itself to every address it came into contact with, starting off a vicious chain reaction.
Computer Forensics Investigators discovered a code word hidden in the virus; “Barok”. A professor at AMACC, a computing college in the Philippines, recognised the word as a code word used in a program one of his students had created and handed in as a term assignment. That student was Onel de Guzman.
Police Searched his apartment and found disks proving he had played a part in the creation of the virus. At the time there were no laws against computer hacking in the Philippines, so the creator of one of the most destructive computer virus’ in history got away with his crime.
