Why is that a surprise? It is not like it is difficult to write those kind of things. specially a ridiculous one like that that sent data to a windows share in the network he was attacking. The technical part is silly easy. The hard part is the moral and fear of loosing what you gained honestly so far. And for that, being a teenager is much easier. So, what is really the surprise here? It is not like it was a elegant worm or anything. It was just not looked after for ages. The real interesting info in this whole history is why it was ignored for so long, and who monetized it later one (hint: i doubt it was the teenage kid)
