From the article:

"The group responsible for writing the BadBunny malware doesn't seem to have 
much confidence in it spreading, as it sent the worm directly to our labs. 
The hackers have written plenty of StarBasic malware in the past, but the 
most 'in the wild' this one is likely to get is by displaying a picture of a 
furvert in the woods,"

This highlights the danger of mixing data and code.  People who pass these 
things around (bad jokes in office formats) will learn to their cost to 
push "no" when Open Office asks them if they want to run macros.  

Thanks for the heads up.  I'm looking forward to hearing more about this.
