Subject: FLASH: cyberattack in progress
We have been getting reports of a new, much more destructive version of the
Code Red worm that swept through the Internet a couple of months ago. This
new variant, called "Code Rainbow" or "Nimda", runs executables on IIS
servers and infects web pages on the affected site. The main threats appear
to be (1) the worm spreads through the infection of web pages as well as
direct probing of other sites, and (2) the high bandwidth the worm takes
up - it launches a large number of attacks against other servers. In one
hour, for example, we've logged about 500 attacks against our servers.
We don't know where this one came from, but there have been reports of index
pages displaying messages like "Fuck USA Government", so this may be an
attack by a foreign government or terrorist organization.
