This would be true if MyDoom showed any really creative innovation, like abusing a as-yet-generally-unknown 0day, or some novel approach to finding ways into a system. If I was looking for holes, I'd pass on the MyDoom author and find out what Lie Die Yu was doing - the kind of thinking that went into the "Sis Step IE Remote Compromise Cache Attack" is what you want on your side.
