The report is NOT paranoia. Several LARGE user ISPs suffer immensely from
this. Use this information if it is useful to you and you encounter the
same problems.

Does it impact the network operation?

Eg, does it adversely affect the network? (say, like Beagle did.)

Not like Bagle did, to my knowledge. That said, this is spreading at an
increasing rate that is unbelievable. That means worms, bots, and yes, ISP
support, network and system personnel time depending on ISP.
