New jargon: The Warhol Worm

The following is an analysis of a worst case virulence for a computer worm, using existing mechanisms and a modified infection strategy. Such a "Warhol Worm" could infect every vulnerable machine in a 15 minute time period, outpacing human defense. It is important to understand the possible threat, in order to develop better defenses.

"In the future, everybody will have 15 minutes of fame"
