The Confiker worm - arguably one of the nastiest critters to be unleashed in quite a while - is reportedly set to morph itself on April 1.

Looks like it's about to wreak more havoc - on April Fool's Day no less. If you want to know exactly what goes on under the hood then be sure to SRI's extensive write-up.
