    Soon we'll be seeing signups for the Microsoft Mercenaries coalition. You heard it here first. (or not)

    The most interesting part of this story is the coalition MS is putting together to fight it, including F-Secure, ICANN, Symantec, and a long list of heavy-hitters. Apparently F-Secure cracked the pattern of domains being used, and now everyone's attempting to head it off at the pass by killing those domains and/or pre-registering them so they can't be used by the worm.
