All that fear and hype, and it turns out to be nothing more than a spam-generator and password stealer? The author(s) really ought to be ashamed of themselves.
An amusing bit from the end of the article:
I’m personally grateful that it brought to mind a moment from the original Die Hard film.

(Laughing) “Who said we were terrorists?”
There’s a lot more money in generating spam on 10 million machines than running format c: /y on ten million machines. Money always wins out over idealism.
