Cool story, just a tiny nitpick..
> The malware also has wormable properties
Malware doesn't have wormable properties, the bug being exploited to implement the worm is the thing that is 'wormable' in industry parlance. I think what they mean here is that the malware is a worm
- judge2020 7y agoI guess "wormable" implies it could duplicate to other computers via command & control instead of just duplicating to every computer it finds, but it's unclear.
- meowface 7y agoI think that's a little pedantic. The wormable properties are the vulnerabilities the malware is exploiting. The vulnerability and malware could both be considered to have wormable properties.
