Tracking down and deworming all those pandas is going to take a massive amount of resources and be sort of messy too.

No wonder China prosecuted

In selling gaming accounts, they threatened China's important gold farming industry!

Wouldn't it be ironic if this worm was first detected by Panda-AV, that oh so .... AV program.

Panda av is spanish

Panda is a Spanish company this is rather confusing

to me but maybe that is intentional. I don't know is it

OK to tear the fingernails out and crush the testicles

of people who steal games passwords and force them

to write a cleanup program actually if it can do the cleanup

then I think it's best to use it he does know _all_ the

changes his software made to those systems, and others

don't I would question if it is a good thing to continue

to trust any installation that can be attacked in this way

so I don't know that it helps to just fix it back to it's pristene

but vulnerable prior state.
