At lunch a coworker mentioned SIPVicious at lunch today. Named for Sid Vicious, this malware or virus or whatever tries to find a phone attached to a SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) port at your PC and it will then make your phone ring again and again. It made me think of the Bugbear virus of 2003 which would try to find printers at your LAN and would then start printing its source code out, one line per sheet of paper, in the name of seeing how many sheets of paper it could ruin.
