ILOVEYOU Virus

 It was created by a student-geek from the Philippines named Onel de Guzman . He was taking an IT-related course and was expelled from school, although the school somewhat gained popularity for that. He was not imprisoned, because there was no IT-related law in the Philippines. instead he was sent to some social welfare institution.

He had an australian accomplice when he let out the virus. it reached as far as the white house and the pentagon.
