The most powerful malicious programs are the ones that are not easily detected. Spam & dos attacks have been the only payload. Some occasional card number snatching. The way the writer of the original blast was able to launch and still not be identified is remarkable but it could have launched horrific payloads. Apparently these alleged hired guns aren't out to do serious damage. With newly released (leaked) windows code and a few more months time, a tenacious worm writer may figure a method to run their progs undetected.
