The “I LOVE YOU” virus was traced back to a Filipino computer programmer named Onel de Guzman. At the time of the virus spread, the Philippines did not have specific laws addressing computer crimes, so prosecuting him was complicated.
As a result, Onel de Guzman was never jailed for creating the virus. However, the incident led to the Philippines enacting its first cybersecurity laws to address such offenses in the future. It is a notable case that highlights how laws sometimes struggle to keep pace with technological changes.
