Quote: The worm can figure out which users are trying to probe its command-and-control servers, and it retaliates by launching DDoS attacks against them, shutting down their Internet access for days, says Josh Korman, host-protection architect for IBM/ISS, who led a session on network threats.

OH MY... I honestly don't know what else to say. The hackers seem to be getting more and more malicious 😞

Whoa...that's scary.

A worm program that can retaliate? That's not good...

Still, someone will figue out how to stop it. I'm sure.
