Moscow-based anti-virus company Kaspersky Labs has pointed out here that the recent rush of variants of the Bagle, MyDoom and Netsky viruses include messages aimed at each other:
"Netsky.C" we are the skynet - you can't hide yourself! - we kill malware writers (they have no chance!) - [LaMeRz-->]MyDoom.F is a thief of our idea! - -< SkyNet AV vs. Malware >- ->->
"Netsky.F" Skynet AntiVirus - Bagle - you are a looser!!!!
And in the answering shots:
"Mydoom.F" to netsky's creator(s): imho, skynet is a decentralized peer-to-peer neural network. we have seen P2P in Slapper in Sinit only. they may be called skynets, but not your shitty app.
"Bagle.I" Hey, NetSky, fuck off you bitch, don't ruine our bussiness, wanna start a war ?
"Bagle.J" Hey, NetSky, fu** off you bitch!
Eugene Kaspersky, Head of Anti-Virus Research at Kaspersky Labs, says: "It's hard to imagine a more comical situation: a handful of virus writers are playing unpunished with the Internet, and not one member of the Internet community can take decisive action to stop to this lawlessness. The problem is not that no-one wants to change the situation, but that the current architecture of the Internet is completely inconsistent with information security."
