You're behind the times...
This has already hit the /. community two days ago and most of the talk has been the usual "tar & feather" kind for the 17 year old that had created this particular worm. Especially given that at least one of these variants was completely egocentrically benign.

Frankly, I think more of this sort of thing should be done ethically mind you -- warning of the exploit rather than simply injecting it and letting havoc run loose. Particularly given that I've watched elsewhere when this has been done and the web designer completely ignores that they have a hole in their code..
