Seems to be Microsoft has a $250,000 reward for the link and arrest of the person(s) that wrote this virus... he had better skip country haha

I wouldn't be surprised if this turned out to be a professional job. I also bet it comes from western Europe, only because the first known infection (reported on Panda I think) was in France.
