OK, this is obviously going to be the AV/infosec story of the week.  (At least this particular story notes that it 
isn't a big deal, although they don't seem to realize it's old news.)

(If any AV/anti-malware/security company wants to hire me, I'd be glad to look back through my archives and find 
threats from 25 years ago and dress them up in new jargon in order to seed out stupid press releases like the one that 
started this.  I've got a million of 'em ...)
