Not content to just wreak its normal wormly havoc, the latest version of MyDoom also taunts security firms and even disses rival NetSky worm author Sven Jaschan.

According to Yahoo News, UK, the new version of the MyDoom worm includes plain text which reads (and I quote here) “we will attack f-secure, symantec, trendmicro, mcafee, etc”.

Apparently MyDoom, being a worm, can’t press the shift key while using its pointy little head to type.

It goes on to say, among other things, that the “11th of march is the skynet day lol. When the beagle and mydoom loose, we wanna stop our activity <== so Where is the Skynet now? lol.”

Poor punctuation, grammer and spelling, internet code slang, and childish taunts.

Obviously, MyDoom is a teenager.

And needs to be grounded and sent to bed without any supper.
