But is this really a "warranty" issue? Sounds more like a fraud issue (ianal).
Given it was done with the intention of messing up other people's computers which the maintainer did not have legit access to - maybe its even a CFAA criminal hacking issue (ianal).
Anyways, there's a huge difference between accidentally doing something and doing something with the specific intention of hurting someone else. Sure you can disclaim responsibility for accidents & negligence, but i'm pretty sure you can't disclaim responsibility for intentionally malicious conduct in a contract, certainly you wouldn't be able to do so if it was criminal conduct (IANAL).
