[edit] First wild implementations of academic research?

This edit claimed that Samy was one of the first wild implementations of academic research, citing [1]. I find this claim somewhat dubious. The citation doesn't provide any evidence suggesting that that "research" had anything to do with an academic institution. Also, the implication of those additions, imho, is that Samy's author consulted that "research", which is, again, not a conclusion that can be drawn from the above.

[edit] Virus/Worm terminology?

I'm really wondering about the terminology that should be use in such context. We've seen all over the web the usage of "worm" for describing such web attack but here, the author is using the term "virus". Any thoughts? —Preceding unsigned comment added by NEUrOO (talk • contribs) 13:58, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
