The Worm fights back…..

Hot on the heels of the ABC and Press Club in Australia trying to defeat the Worm (part of the Australian election debate) - unsuccessfully, Security Researchers are also discovering that it cannot be beaten. In fact, the Worm is not only now defeating attacks to kill it, it is fighting back. Is it just coincidence that this all came to a head on Sunday night? Is this another reason to vote in the Worm friendly Labor Party? Hmmmm….you have to wonder.

The Worm has become a living entity now by the looks of things as reported in Network World and as verified by IBM - with AI powerful enough to allow it to make decisions on the fly to attack those it sees as a threat to it’s existence.

Reports out of Tihsllub where the Worm is believed to have originated are sketchy, with all IT services down for the last 4 days. We have though heard through reputable sources that have managed to get out of the city, that there are unconfirmed reports that the developers of the Worm confessed to having lost control. One of the developers, known only as “Eddie”, is reported to have stated before his untimely disappearance; “It was just for fun…no money…no government…no terrorism….just prank on my girlfriend……now it goes crazy…..it’s alive! I am in fear of my human!”

So the warning to all: whatever you do, if you come across the Worm, don’t approach it or try to engage it in any way, just pretend it’s not there. But, if you are backed into a corner and have no other options, just be nice to it. That may be enough!
