It "called home" but it wasn't triggered to actually do anything.
It may be that there were enough checks put in place to stop anything from happening
or the writer was afraid to actually trigger anything
or the writer was just getting a count to see how many machines are infected.
I think that until the infected machines are patched, something bad may happen; but the longer the gap the more likely that this particular issue will become less of an issue.
