Discovered by Czech researchers, the botnet has been spreading by taking
advantage of poorly configured routers and DSL modems, according to Jan
Vykopal, the head of the network security department with Masaryk
University's Institute of Computer Science in Brno, Czech Republic.
The malware got the Chuck Norris moniker from a programmer's Italian
comment in its source code: "in nome di Chuck Norris," which means "in
the name of Chuck Norris." Norris is a U.S. actor best known for his
martial arts films such as "The Way of the Dragon" and "Missing in Action."
