As I see this, the area where it is useful is in realizing that if they used some kind of safe switch so it couldnt attack it's creators in the lab, then perhaps the same could be used in our environments to help the defense as well. It would be a trivial matter for any organization to make the noted DNS entry properly resolve to a sinkhole in house, which would be enough to trigger the safey on this malware, and protect the organization, regardless of what happenes with the real DNS entry out in the world (which has been attacked by some jerks that want to bring it down).
Maybe it's useful in these attacks to look for signs and indicators of built in lab safety that may have been in the code and left in, so we can replicate the safeties at the same time we fight the malicious code.
