February 9, 2007 ~ "Interesting developments going on. The P2P botnet created by Storm-Worm variants has been used to launch Distributed Denial-of-Service attacks. Targets include several domains used by the Warezov/Medbot gang – with names like adesuikintandefunhandesun. com, esunhuitionkdefunhsadwa. com, shionkertunhedanse. com, huirefunkionmdesa.com et cetera. Also, several antispam organizations have been attacked. Joe Stewart has done a good write-up about this*. This is not a good development and reminds us of the Great Virus War** fought in 2004.
PS – There has been some speculation that these DDoS attacks might be related to the attacks on the root nameservers earlier this week, but we haven't been able to confirm this."

"…It seems that more spammers are willing and able to attack anyone who threatens their profit potential."
