The hacker named Iraq Resistance said he made the worm so people can hear his voice. He said he is not a negative person because he did not smash infected computers.

Iraq Resistance criticised the U.S. war on Iraq and posted a video about his complaints using a computer-generated voice on Sunday. He compared his action as not bad as that of Terry Jones, the Florida pastor threatening to burn Quran books last week.

The "Here you have" sent from 6 percent to 14 percent of Internet spam on Thursday affecting Disney, Proctor and Gamble, Wells Fargo and the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

The worm has a password logging software and a backdoor program that could have allowed Iraq Resistance to control infected computers. The worm, however, was shut down when the Web servers it used to infect machines were also shut down.

Iraq Resistance did not identify himself. SecureWorks Researcher Joe Stewart speculated that he is Libyan and is trying to recruit hackers for a cyber jihad group called Brigades of Tariq ibn ZIyad, the 8th century Muslim commander who conquered much of Spain for the Ummayad Caliphate.

Stewart also said that Iraq Resistance may be based in Spain because of the Spanish theme of the hacker's video.
