Hi CS,
As for a map, I have this one on an ol' browser Links bar... Data gathered from Housecall scans.

We can make a difference - I intend to use all the resources they provide to do my small piece to work to a more secure, private, reliable and functional global system of communications.

Thank you for the link, EG. I was surprised to see that Asia is in third place. This is precisely why I like the idea of the maps. It is a good learning and teaching tool to show worldwide internet habits.
The computer is not just a toy, and although we can still have fun with it, end-users need to understand the necessity of safe computing. No matter what the extra-curricular activity one is involved in there are risks involved, and understanding what those risks are and how to avoid them are all part of playing the game. Sometimes the old clichés just fit.
I think the fact that Nachi was almost (or was) designed as a counter-attack against W32/Blaster-A, requires some reading between the lines. Who knows what the creator of Nachi was thinking. They were even kind enough to apologize to Zhongli (perhaps the creator's wife?) in the hidden signature:
Once running, it will attempt to remove W32/Msblast.A from that system, as well as attempting to update the system with the security patch from Microsoft which addresses this vulnerability.
The worm contains the following string, never exposed to the end user:
"=========== I love my wife & baby  ~~~ Welcome Chian~~~ Notice: 2004 will remove myself ~~ sorry zhongli~~~========== wins"

P.S. The smilies are part of the sig as well...
