    Schneier on Security: The Storm Worm

    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.
