Key paragraph -
//begin
Security firm iDefense said it broke the encrypted code in a Sober variant
discovered in November and found that it is designed to download the unknown
code from various Web addresses on January 5, 2006. Millions of "zombie"
computers may already be infected with the variant, the company said.
The date coincides with the 87th anniversary of the founding of the Nazi
Party. The release of worms has been tied to political events in the past,
iDefense noted, in a kind of "hactivisim" designed to distribute propaganda.
