    Thats pretty funny.. didnt someone else release a worm like that some time ago? The worm previoulsy released downloaded a patch from Microsoft to vulnerable machines, but I think these types of things create their own little DoS attacks when they get transmitted to offices with a less than desired Internet Connection. I dont think they're going to equip this thing with any type of intelligence to monitor Internet connection speeds or network bandwidth.. in view of this, I think this would probably just get classified into another threat.
