According to Czech tech security Web site, police interviewed 22 year-old "Benny" who lives in Brno and confiscated computers from his home on Thursday.
"It seems that the police have questioned him about a virus that was really significant," said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos. "Benny has always said that he never released his viruses into the wild, so it will be interesting to see if any charges will be brought against him."
However, he has published his viral source code on the Internet, which may have acted as an encouragement for others to cause damage.
Benny was recently employed by antivirus company Zoner software and has been the in media spotlight since his retirement from the 29A group in early 2003.
