No. More infections = more noise. If you want to target specific people for a long time, you want to make as little noise as possible. This includes unexpected traffic, file artefacts, background energy use, etc.

Although now that the cat is out of the bag, I'm sure some groups are working to reproduce it for mass-infection. Especially since this looks wormable.
