Will You Be My Botnet? Storm Returns For Valentine's
"Valentine's Day has been Botnet Day for as long as there have been botnets, and 2009 is no exception. An evolved and wily version of the Storm botnet is producing as many as a thousand variations of itself a day.



Re-purposed and in some ways reinvented, Storm is back with what may turn out to be a vengeance.

Whether or not Cupid has an arrow aimed at you, you can bet that Waledac and other Valentine's attacks are going to try to worm their way into you computer if not your heart."

Dear RootbeaR,
Yes,that's some Virus(confiker)! Noway am i gonna be your botnet,no sir! MS is offering a cool quarter Mill$ to hunt down the creator of the virus!

Your signatures really rock! Always preferred AC/DC over Judas Priest!
AIDS virus is a bigger threat,isn't it? Don't forget the condom,a vital accessory! There is no "safe" sex anymore!LOL
