Obviously the authorities have no clue how it works.
On august 12, 2005, the code for the "exploit" was released onto the internet, on atleast 20+ "0day exploit" websites.
The code is basically harmless.
These guys and about 1000 others on the internet then took a copy of rxbot / rbot (been around since 2000), adapted rbot to scan and work with the UPNP2 exploit, aka mytob, and people went "omgosdgmomg ITS A WORM!!!"
No, security forum noobs. It's a basic trojan, that he instructed to scan a certain way. He didnt really code anything. And it's not a "worm". Your computer was simply part of a large botnet.
