You're assuming it was released on purpose and worked on the intended scale, I'm not sure either are true.

  This malware was first released as part of a massive spam campaign, and then from there wormed its way onto other systems. It was definitely released on purpose.

    Has any of that been confirmed? I thought patient zero's were still mostly speculation.

      I don't have a citation I can point you towards, just the word of a coworker who's a malware researcher, sorry.
