Well, you can always use those compromised drives in an Amiga. The malware won't have a damn clue what to do with 68K and Amiga APIs! :)

Finally, a benefit to the high barrier for entry for new Amiga programmers:
"Ok, I got the worm working under 3.9, but as soon as the ROM update is enabled it crashes."
"You need to make sure the victim is using scsi.device 45.13 or earlier."
"Even on an 060?"
"No, for 040 or lower it has to be scsi.device 45.14 AND FastFileSystem 45.9."
"Ugh, fine. Is there a difference between the SCSI scsi.device and the IDE scsi.device?"
"Check the RKRM."
"I don't have the newest version."
"I loaned you the Developer CD that had the RKRMs on it - use that."
"I left it at home."
"Why are we making this compatible with these old Amiga things again?"
"Beats me. Can you send me those bsdsocket.library includes?"
"vasm or AsmPro?"
"Hell, I don't know."

:crazy:

And the whole issue would be moot if the drive manufacturers would
a) Allow/make it easy for end users to re-flash their firmware
b) Require a write-enable jumper to be set in order to do so
