From the linked article: "...Publishing exploit code such as this for an unpatched vulnerability on a holiday weekend is, without any doubt, a totally irresponsible act..."
This struck me as kind of a stupid thing to say. As if the people who distribute these damned things give a crap about whether it is going to deleteriously impact their victims!
That aside, I appreciate the work that was done by these people on a holiday weekend to fight it. I just thought that comment was naive and silly.

Dude, the people who PUBLISHED the "new and improved" version are supposed to be on OUR side. Or at least they CLAIM to be.
I have to agree with the author. What a bonehead move on somebody's part.
