Sasser is an Internet worm that probably caused billions of dollars of damage in 2004. It was created by a Computer science student in Germany who was also behind Netsky. While there was no intentionally destructive payload, Sasser did cause many computers to slow down or crash, causing some high profile damage.

- In 2004 the Sasser computer worm affected computers running the Microsoft Windows operating system. As a result of the worm, a number of computer systems were disrupted, including those of Delta Airlines that had to cancel several trans-Atlantic flights and the British Coastguard's electronic mapping services.
- Sasser is a computer worm that affects computers running vulnerable versions of the Microsoft operating systems Windows XP and Windows 2000. Sasser spreads by exploiting the system through a vulnerable network port (as do certain other worms). Thus it is particularly virulent in that it can spread without user intervention, but it is also easily stopped by a properly configured firewall or by downloading system updates from Windows Update. The specific hole Sasser exploits is documented by Microsoft in its MS04-011 bulletin, for which a patch had been released seventeen days earlier.
