Microsoft offer $250,00 reward
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7887577.stm
If they were really serious about catching/disabling the source of this worm surely they have the skills in house to do it themselves....they wrote
the target OS afterall and they're all about software and the internet.
...and $250,000 is really a very small amout of money (£170,000) to offer.
