Friendly is the wrong phrase....

Misguided fits better. This worm was causing all sorts of mischief,
probably due to it overloading routers.

It is almost impossible to predict the effects of releasing this kind of
software into the wild, and therefore very irresponsible, hopefully the
police services will track down and prosecute the authors of both worms.

I take a similar view to farming genetically modified organisms, for
similar reasons.
