I would have to say that if I would have a website which some malicious person put
in their worm/ddos code, and providers start to block my traffic, the writer would get

There are just too many people who run when somebody cries "Wolf!!!" without
engaging their brain first.

Wolf was real;
Boy was a bad boy;

PS. I do not see this virus in our networks (except may be East Europe where
I can not see exact data, but I can see traffic bursts), but I can see some
ISP/ISP connections disrupted (packet loss etc...).
