Mapping Sony's Virus

we make money not art point us to a project on visualizing the spread of the  Sony Rootkit (info from Slashdot) using PlanetLab. What for? I'm not sure, but they seem to be finding some strange or unexplained correlations between the servers it attacks and the initial sources. What does it all mean? Apparently, Sony is very secretive about it. Aside from being cool graphics, it might help in exploring what Sony won't say.
