The teenager who created the "Sasser" computer worm that snarled thousands of computers last year was convicted Friday in Germany on charges including computer sabotage and given a suspended sentence, a court official said. The Sasser worm had exploited a flaw in Microsoft Corp.'s Windows 2000 and Windows XP operating systems, causing computers to crash and reboot. Following the conviction, Microsoft said two people who had helped identify Sven Jaschan would share a $250,000 reward.
