Can computer viruses be traced back to their source?
It depends. They can usually be traced back to the first computer(s) that launched it, but not necessarily to their authors.

Most viruses are launched from a public computer, TOR, or some other method to prevent them from being traced back to their authors. This does not always work, however, as the creators of most major viruses have spent many months in jail.
