[ale] Good worm by Microsoft [??]

[f.g.robertson at alexiongroup.com (F. Grant Robertson)]

Honestly I can't imagine it being them. Had you released a worm, as a
major corporation, even to fix a hole, it seems like step one would be
to issue a press release. I think making it an "open" experience would
be your only hope of not being charged for it. I've also read elsewhere
that NAV is detecting and blocking this new worm, whatever it's called.

IF you were microsoft, and IF you released this, shouldn't you (and,
being the nuts for execution they are, wouldn't you) have co-ordinated
with Symantec?
