Storm Worm Dwarfs World's Top Supercomputers

Brian Krebs writes on Security Fix:

Lawrence Baldwin, chief forensics officer for myNetWatchman.com and a researcher who closely monitors the spread of the Storm worm, said the sheer power of the Storm network is "scary."

"People aren't respecting the threat this thing represents," Baldwin said. "But when you pit it against the biggest military and government supercomputing resources, they're like a speck on the back of a fly compared to the power that's under the control of this one criminal group."
