And if you haven't, you probably will be as soon as the script kiddies who are even more lame than our security professionals find the zero-day. HAND".
Code alone is not a threat. Its obvious these security companies never have specific intelligence of worms being planned. All they can base their threat meters on is a generalization. Which one is the threat: "A gun store has opened on the corner, someone might buy a gun and shoot" or "I overheard a conversation that johnny average is annoyed at bob and spoke about revenge, he's really into guns, and a gun store has just opened on the corner, johnny is mentally unstable, and he's really good at hitting his targets, he shot someone in the past but no one told the police."
