Just a slight nitpick, the icon/image that's used for the "Worm" stories is in fact a caterpillar and not a worm.
I guess this might lead to new types of security threats. You get infected by a caterpillar (like some parasitic wasps) and it eats your PC from inside until it cocoons (or not) and emerges out of your PC into the rest of the world as a wasp/butterfly (e.g. screen saver?).
