RE: Does the Worm have another Payload besides 1434 Floods?

All disassembly analasis made shows that it is a simplistic worm designed
to
break in, execute, and start sending itself out. No system damage or host
embedding has been detected. The writer of the worm had no intentions of
causing permanent damage.

For now, seeing how effective this worm was how long do you think its going to take before there are many, many variations on this worm that *DO* have malicious code and backdoor the machine in a way that will survive a reboot.

It's really gone after a restart.

For now :slight_smile:
