Uhmm… what do you think about it?
Do you have a pinch of salt to go with that ? It is a proof of concept that requires some very specific conditions to occur and also you need to have a really high profile to make it worthwhile
Sorry, I was only asking for thoughts and evaluations by experts…
I did quite a bit of research on these, as I am supporting 4000 networks and 50 resellers using avast! across North America. Now for the GOOD news, is I have never seen nor heard of anyone getting the infection, so it is extremely rare.
Now for the BAD news, they do really exist, and are being pursued, and won’t stay “extremely rare” forever!

You know you’re talking to a teacher at GekkU right? He’s one of our best removers so telling him that you’re looking for experts is a major insult. He is an expert.
No it is a valid point … But the reason to attack a home user does not make the effort to do it worthwhile
Terrorist and Organized Crime will take everything they can get to power a botnet. It’s how they pay for everything!
Sorry again. I would have said “by experts like you”.
