    From the Beeb:

    A second US youth has been arrested in connection with the Blaster worm which caused computer havoc this summer.

    Seattle police charged the youth with "intentionally causing damage and attempting to cause damage to protected computers".

    It is thought the youth created the variant, RPCSDBOT, but the extent of infection is not known.

    It comes a week after Jeffrey Lee Parson, 18, denied charges of creating another damaging version.
