    Who Wrote Sobig?

    As the one year anniversary of the Anti-Virus Reward
    Program bounty for
    Sobig approaches, we felt this was an appropriate time
    to publicly
    release the current state of our Sobig forensic
    investigation.
    Appropriately, the authors of this document have
    chosen to release it
    anonymously for many reasons, some of which are:

     * By releasing the information publicly, we hope to
    increase tips to law
       enforcement concerning the Sobig authorship and
    spur efforts toward
       apprehension of the malware author(s);

     * This document shows how computer forensics can
    identify virus authors.
       The computer forensic methods demonstrated
    throughout this document
       have been utilized to successfully identify authors
    of other viruses
       as well;

     * Our focus is the objective analysis of Sobig. It is
    our contention,
       position, and belief that associating this paper
    with any specific
       company, organization, group, or individual will
    only serve to detract
       from the investigation.
