"But one researcher traced the Trojan further back than that. According to an analysis by Joe Stewart, a SecureWorks senior security researcher, Peacomm is actually a spinoff of last year's "Nuwar" worm. "It's pretty much the same code," said Stewart.
Both Stewart and Huger also noted that the Trojan has been behind several recent distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks against antispam Web sites, as well as servers supporting rival malware."
The worm spreads through AOL Instant Messenger, Google Talk and Yahoo Messenger, as a message pretending to come from a trusted source.
Could this be a beginning of a new malware on malware war? Hope so, maybe they will forget all about us, normal people.
