Waiter, there's a worm in my COD.

I've reached out to Activision to ask for clarification on the reason behind MW2's temporary server shutdown, and I'll update this piece if I hear back.said they analysed the malware and found strings indicating it was"coded specifically for MW2." I'm no expert, but the strings posted by that user sure look like a worm to me.

One string that reads"User was randomly selected to be a spreader in modded lobbies" suggests that pretty much anyone who runs afoul of the virus risks being converted into a vector for it, which probably goes some way to explaining why even a company as, ah, laissez-faire about its older games as Activision might want to intervene before it got out of hand."confirmed that the malware contains those strings, indicating a worm".
