Gives new meaning to the phrase "evil genius'.
Quoted: Storm is designed like an ant colony, with separation of duties. Only a small fraction of infected hosts spread the worm. A much smaller fraction are C2: command-and-control servers. The rest stand by to receive orders. By only allowing a small number of hosts to propagate the virus and act as command-and-control servers, Storm is resilient against attack. Even if those hosts shut down, the network remains largely intact, and other hosts can take over those duties.
Quoted: Storm has been around for almost a year, and the antivirus companies are pretty much powerless to do anything about it.

It is possible that IE7 arrives tomorrow in the form of a high priority update. Operations managers might consider placing nets and / or trampolines below the windows of Web developers.
