Worm Floats Obama's Head on Your Desktop
,----[ Quote ]
| The worm spreads via USB drive, using the Windows autorun feature to install
| itself automatically on any drive it connects with. Unlike most of today's
| profit-driven malware, the Obama worm doesn't steal your credit card number
| or turn your PC into a remote-controlled zombie system. In fact, it isn't
| designed to do anything besides float a small picture of Obama at the bottom
| right corner of your desktop all day every Monday.

| site's forum through compromised zombie machines. These threatening messages
| claimed the site was been carpetbombed with spurious traffic generated
| through a 9,000 strong botnet of compromised machines.
