The FBI has identified a teenager as the author of a damaging virus-like 
infection unleashed on the Internet and plans to arrest him early Friday, a 
U.S. official confirmed Thursday.

The 18-year-old, whose name and hometown was not immediately available, was 
accused of writing one version of the damaging "Blaster" infection, which 
spread quickly across the Internet weeks ago, the official said, speaking 
on condition of anonymity.
