Microsoft announces $250,000 Conflicker worm bounty - Network World

The spreading Conflicker/Downadup worm is now viewed as such a significant threat that it's inspired the formation of a posse to stop it, with Microsoft leading the charge by offering a $250,000 reward to bring the Conflicker malware bad guys to justice.
The money will be paid for "information that results in the arrest and conviction of those responsible for illegally launching the Conflicker malicious code on the Internet," Microsoft said today in a statement, adding it is fostering a partnership with Internet registries and DNS providers such as ICANN, ORG, and NeuStar as well as security vendors Symantec and Arbor Networks, among others, to stop the Conflicker worm once and for all.
