'Alien' worm descends on Earth PCs
"'The good news is that you're more likely to be abducted by an alien than infected by this virus,' said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos.
"'Sundor-A has so far been remarkably unsuccessful at spreading its message to the inhabitants of planet Earth.'"
If we keep spamming outer space with telephone monologues and blog transmissions, maybe real aliens will return the favor with a debilitating computer virus . . .
(This reminds me of the old science fiction story in which a group of scientists, fearing a global nuclear war, convince the world that the planet is about to be invaded by hostile aliens from the Moon. Earth's nations work together to build a ray to fire at the Moon to exterminate the manufactured threat. Unfortunately, it turns out there really are aliens on the Moon, and the Earthlings' well-meaning if duplicitous attempt at world peace precipitates an extraterrestrial conflict.)
