“Philippine investigators today arrested a man suspected of
being linked to the “I Love You” computer virus after raiding his
apartment and finding computer equipment.“
“The man’s live-in girlfriend, who was not home at the time, was
also considered a suspect, said Federico Opinion, chief of the
National Bureau of Investigation. The girlfriend promised to appear
later at the investigation headquarters, where she was expected to
be arrested.”
“The man’s relatives, however, said they believe the real
culprit may have been the girlfriend’s 23-year-old sister, who also
lives in the apartment. The sister recently graduated in computer
engineering from the Philippines’ AMA Computer College–a school
linked by one U.S. computer security company to the virus.”
