No. This one is a stealth attack through open ports. You only have to be
online. You don't have to download anything. You just have to be
connected and have an open port and the vulnerability. I believe this type
of attack is only just beginning and that we'll see more with similar
delivery.

| OK, so lets just break that down a bit..how does it scan for a
| vunerable
| computer and how does the payload get into it?
|
| I don't see how an executable file can be executed with
