David O’Dornan and Paul Higgins report:

A teenage boy was today charged with creating a computer virus which ‘crashed hundreds of financial institutions’ across the world.

Although he did not appear at Newtownards Magistrates Court in Northern Ireland, 18-year-old Josh Maunder was charged with 21 offences.

They included 13 charges of doing an unauthorised act impairing the operation of a computer, two counts each of making an article intended it to be used for computer misuse, obtaining an article to commit an offence and possessing articles in connection with fraud.
