It's also worth pointing out that this wasn't a virus or worm, but a trojan. It still required that people type in their passwords. (It pretended to be an update to Flash.)
Ummm... "However, this latest version of Flashfake does not require any user-interaction and is installed via a “drive-by download,” which occurs when victims unwittingly visit infected websites, allowing the Trojan to be downloaded directly onto their computers through the Java vulnerabilities"
