    I'm getting massive packet loss to various points on the globe.
    I am seeing a lot of these in my tcpdump output on each
    host.
    
    02:06:31.017088 150.140.142.17.3047 > 24.193.37.212.ms-sql-m:  udp 376
    02:06:31.017244 24.193.37.212 > 150.140.142.17: icmp: 24.193.37.212 udp port ms-sql-m unreachable [tos 0xc0
    
    It looks like there's a worm affecting MS SQL Server which is
    pingflooding addresses at some random sequence.
    
    All admins with access to routers should block port 1434 (ms-sql-m)!
    
    Everyone running MS SQL Server shut it the hell down or make
    sure it can't access the internet proper!
    
    I make no guarantees that this information is correct, test it
    out for yourself!
