Flame sounds awesome. I am always fascinated by clever bits of kit like this.

I read a piece about conficker a while ago. I thought it was super cool that it patched the security vulnerability on infected conputers to protect itself. Its just really clever. Now you have Flame which has done what it has done and is now trying to kill itself to make it look like it never existed.

Obviously though it is also deeply concerning. States are investing more and more into cyber warfare. If anything more money needs to be spent hardening computer networks and systems to protect from exactly these kind of threats.
