The two men believed to be responsible for the Zotob worm that caused havoc in the US recently have been arrested in Turkey and Morocco.

The arrests come following a joint effort from the FBI, Microsoft and the Turkish and Moroccan authorities. It remains to be seen how much financial damage was caused by the worm and what benefits the two men may have received for unleashing it.

Others may have been involved in the outbreak of Zotob, but a spokesperson was confident that if they were out there, they'd be caught.
